It’s early on a Saturday morning on the first day of BLUEprint, the WCAA’s annual fall leadership training for alumnae volunteers. But this isn’t your usual session on how to run a reunion. Two dozen alums are on the floor in a circle on yoga mats in a dance studio in Keohane Sports Center.

特派团完成了Shivani Kuckreja'16。“班上很棒！”她说。“这既崩溃和激动，教练鼓励每个人都在他们身上，从而促进包含的环境环境，让人们感到更舒服地承担风险。”
