Debbie Huntington ’73 and her daughter Melissa Halka ’14 share an interest in people, languages, and cultures.
Kim and Glenna both enjoy Greek language and history. Kim, now a Latin teacher, spent her junior year in Greece with the College Year in Athens program and returned to complete her degree in classic civilization with a minor in philosophy. Glenna will spend three weeks with the CYA program this summer. “I’m so glad my daughter will have this time to see another place that was meaningful to me and my career choice. The College has evolved, and the opportunities available to Glenna as part of a close-knit community are extraordinary,” Kim said.
Melissa Halka ’14, an art history and museum studies major, is the youngest daughter of Debbie Huntington ’73 and Chet Halka, both of whom teach Spanish at Randolph.
“It might be tough being the daughter of two faculty members, but Melissa has been involved with clubs and events from the minute she stepped on campus. We rarely see her,” said Debbie. “She is enjoying subjects as diverse as printmaking and monotype in studio art to non-western religion and philosophy courses. She and I do share a keen interest in other people and other cultures.”
Debbie’s extra-curricular activitives included Spanish table, Portuguese class, tutoring, and serving as a campus tour guide. “Watching her balance her academic work load with social and cultural activities

like the Red Door (an after-hours student-run coffee house), Pan World, and leadership roles in the French Club and in Bridges is inspiring.”
Reflecting on Melissa’s experience as a student co-curator for the “Mirror of a Passing World” exhibition at the Maier, Debbie said, “The excitement and satisfaction Melissa showed for art and the Maier as she collaborated with the other students reminded me of the reasons I chose to attend R-MWC and ultimately to teach at the College.”
Cathy Pratt Morris ’80 says she and her daughter Anne Morris ’12 have many traits in common. They both chose a small liberal arts college in Virginia over a large university near their West Coast home. Both were more than 3,000 miles from family during the school year with little opportunity to return home for visits. Both attended the College’s program in Reading England for a year (Cathy met her husband Peter there) and both are Evens.
Anne also made her own magic at Randolph. “In the way Anne described the bond with her professors I knew that her experiential learning opportunities have been exceptional. One of Anne’s shining moments was her lead role in the Randolph production of A Midsummer’s Night Dream during spring term senior year,” Cathy said.
