Reunion 2024

More than 325 alumnae/i returned to campus on the first weekend of June to celebrate an unforgettable Reunion Weekend. The class of 1974, always competitive and committed, had a record number of alumnae— 94 in total—attend to celebrate their 50th reunion. The class of 1984 showed up with an impressive 44 alumnae.

Thanks to the participation of so many reunion-year alumnae/i, Hollins celebrated having received more than $1.5 million in reunion gifts to the Hollins Fund and just under $2.5 million to all funds for the fiscal year ending June 30.

A special surprise took place on June 1 following the “Rock the Village” parade, when a house in the student village was named in honor of distinguished alumna and current Senior Philanthropic Advisor Suzy Mink ’74. Suzy’s unwavering dedication and contributions to our community have left an indelible mark, and this recognition, supported by generous donations from her classmates, is a testament to her impactful service.

As a student, Suzy served as vice president of the Student Government Association and captain of the lacrosse and field hockey teams, earning 12 varsity letters in four sports. She was elected by her classmates for the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award, which is presented at graduation to the senior “who has shown by daily living those qualities that evidence a spirit of love and helpfulness to other men and women.”

Since her graduation, Suzy has been an exemplar of those qualities, particularly in service to her beloved alma mater. From 1978 to 1981, she served as director of the Hollins Fund. She returned to the staff in 2013, serving as vice president for external relations from 2017 to 2021, and staying on in her current role as senior philanthropic advisor. Within her roles, she was instrumental in fundraising for the Student Village. She is known for inspiring alumnae to stay close to Hollins—and to support it generously.

Mark your calendars for next year’s Reunion Weekend, taking place May 30-June 1, 2025!
