Hutchison is hosting The Yida Photography Exhibit from January 17-February 10. The Yida Exhibit is an immersive experience that shares what life is like in the refugee camp, who the refugees are, and aspects of their Nuba culture. The theatre department will mount selected scenes from the play Anonymous, based on a retelling of Homer’s The Odyssey. This play explores themes of displaced people, the hero’s journey, abandonment and family. A short matinée is scheduled during our upper school Equity and Inclusion Week and will be performed by Hutchison’s upper school girls.

Navigating the College Selection Process
This is a busy time of year in the Hutchison college counseling office. As we prepare and send recommendation letters, transcripts, and work with girls as the application deadlines quickly approach, it is important to reflect on the relationships we build with each girl. Because of our one-on-one college counseling, we are able to vividly describe each girl in our letters of recommendation. Yet, our work does not start a few weeks before an application deadline; it starts years before. In fact, our relationship with each girl begins during her freshman year. This is the Hutchison difference.Read More -
