I’ve been doing more thinking about the possibility of R-MWC going coed to maintain enrollment numbers. They have recently succeeded at raising $100 million+ through the Capital Campaign, which should allieviate concerns about money. If women do so well at women’s colleges, why is this an option? …
On September 9, 2006, THIS YEAR, the R-MWC Board of Trustees will vote whether or not to make the college co-educational!

The last part says “alumna or donor,” and is required. If …
Our roadtrips are getting longer. Last month we drove 2 1/2 hours to Richmond. What turned into 6 hours down to Lynchburg and about 5 back was a bit more challenging and caused the need for some schedule recovery once we got home.
Around noon on the 8th we left and Sara Ellen was asleep. We took 95 to Frederickburg, VA. That should take about 1 1/2 hours but took almost three because after a while in the HOV lane, we caught up to all the other people using it as we merged the two lanes into one and then into the main highway. Naturally, Sara Ellen woke up and I went back to feed her (it does take some maneuvering ;)). I think she fell back to sleep before we stopped for sustenance. I entertained her for the next hour or more before she went to sleep again. She woke up around six when we arrived at the hotel and was awake for the next FIVE hours!! A normal day for her is awake 2 hours, nap up to 2 hours if I nap with her, otherwise it’s 30 minutes to 1 hour.
I wasn’t sure how loud it would be and it probably was too much for her but she wouldn’t fall asleep nursing in the auditorium or in the hallway, and walking didn’t put her to sleep. Tim and I traded on and off walking her while the other watched the concert. He let me watch the last two pieces and she was very unhappy when I came out. She needed Mommy as we recognized because she quieted down once I got her and bounced a little. In the car she actually fell almost instantly asleep but once back at the hotel it still took a lit bit to fall asleep.
For anyone who does not yet know, the Dance Concert at R-MWC opens this Thursday, April 6. We Altman’s are going down late Saturday morning for that evenings closing show and returning Sunday.
Hope to see you there.
I was just trying to find the dates for this year’s Spring Dance Concert and found a link to the photographer who takes the posters and concert photos. It brought back memories.
I loved R-MWC and my time in the dance department but everything has its complications.
I’ll be home for this! I can go!! 
Yay!

We are preparing a memory box with quotes and …
The R-MWC website offers the concise version of the challenges facing Randolph-Macon, it is called the Strategic Plan.
Since reading the email yesterday, I have been ruminating on what words to use which accurately describe my affection for R-MWC and my frustration over the challenge it faces.
It is an understatement that Randolph-Macon Woman’s College is important to me. In high school I did not give much thought to college except as that which followed high school graduation and was a hope and expectation, but I did not feel pushed to get to college and “make something of myself”. When it came to looking, my view was on those offering dance. I did not apply to 5-10 schools and I don’t remember even preparing for the SAT’s. I got average test scores and applied to two schools, R-MWC and Radford University. I had actually auditioned for a dance scholarship and acceptance to Goucher College’s Dance Department but no more came of that.
I’m not in a state of mind to discuss this now, but R-MWC sent out an email sharing their studies about bringing in more students/money. I’ll discuss it later, but here is the letter if you’re interested in the issues facing single-sex colleges.
Ok, this dream was dance-related, but I wasn’t dancing. Next month R-MWC will have another Symposium. This year it is arts related as it was I think my junior year.
That year, the visiting dance company was Susan Marshall Dance and two of her dancers taught …
