Welcome to the Mills College Club of New York!!
The Mills College Club of New York began 2025 with two events bringing together new and old friends. We are working on a May gathering so stay tuned for the details. Meanwhile, here are brief descriptions of each event with some photos. We hope that you will join us the next time the Mills College alumnae come together to hear a speaker or have an outing.
On January 26, Hannah Jopling ’64, led a roundtable discussion on the criminal justice system in New York City. Jopling has had extensive experience in the field, both as a professional and as a volunteer. She is currently a co-facilitator in the Focus Forward Project in New York City. She worked with a group of criminal offenders, who were about to be incarcerated, to see what their future would look like after they were released and how to achieve their goals. The presentation and discussion were inspiring and interesting.
On March 2, the club held another gathered for a visit to the Bush-Holley House in Greenwich, CT. The group went to the Greenwich Historical Society for a private tour through the historic house and a look at an exhibit about the role of Greenwich during the Revolutionary War. Following the visit we had a lovely brunch at a local restaurant.

On Sunday, September 15, 2024, alumnae and guests gathered to welcome Dean Beth Kochly, Lori Jacques and others from Northeastern University. Dean Beth Kochly spoke about the current and future academic programs on the Mills campus. She joined Mills in 2008 and taught chemistry, but since the merger, she has been overseeing and implementing the educational and research programs at Mills as Dean of Mills College at Northeastern U. Lori Jacques is the Associate VP of Alumni Relations and explained that Mills alumnae can take advantage of all the benefits available to Northeastern U. alums. After the presentations, everyone enjoyed a delicious lunch while catching up with old friends and meeting new ones.
We hope to meet you at one of our events and appreciate your visit to our Mills College Club website.

The Mills College Club has been in existence since 1919 and we are proud to continue its mission to foster old and create new bonds among Mills College alumnae who live in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. We gather for fellowship with each other; raise money for the College (specifically for the Tri-State Scholarship Fund); help with the College's admissions efforts and publicize events related to Mills alumnae and faculty members.
Anyone living in Connecticut, New Jersey, or New York who attended Mills for a semester or more is included in the mailing list for the MCCNY.
Former MCCNY members who have moved away from this area are also welcome as members, as are faculty and staff of the College. These days, except for the mailed invitations to the fall fund-raising event, we keep in touch via e-mail—so it is important for us to know how to reach you this way. Board meetings are held periodically to plan our events; all are welcome at these meetings.
