What is Women in Focus?

Women in Focus: Unlocking Opportunities Together, Mercersburg Academy’s first-ever symposium exclusively for our community of Mercersburg women+, was held in Philadelphia, April 5-7, 2024. At the event, we celebrated the doers, the dreamers, the changemakers, and the world-shakers. The event provided opportunities to build a network, seek and provide mentorship, experience thoughtful workshops with experts, and have real and insightful conversations on issues that matter to our community of women. It was the perfect opportunity to grow with, learn from, and become inspired by fellow Mercersburg-connected women. Thank you to all of our alumnae, parents, students, faculty, and staff who attended.
