On February 24, Mother McAuley welcomed back our Black Alumnae for an inspiring breakfast hosted by our Black Student Union.

It was an impactful morning filled with keynote speakers, student reflections, and meaningful roundtable discussions. We are so grateful to everyone who returned to 99th Street to share their wisdom.

A special thank you to our speakers for their powerful reflections: Tyler Bentley '17 (Attorney at Sidley Austin LLP) and Kennedi Butler '26.
