The Alumnae Initiative for Women (AI4W) enriches the experiences of all St. Mike’s women through advocacy, leadership and philanthropy. Our members are women who have lived or studied at St. Mike’s. Twice a year, as part of the Spring Reunion and Fall Convocation events, we host the AI4W Conversations Series which invites alumnae and friends back to campus to share their insights, experiences and advice with other St. Mike’s women – students, faculty, staff and alumnae.

To learn more about AI4W and stay in touch, follow or DM us on LinkedIn. To support our work, please direct your St. Mike’s donation to “Other – Alumnae Initiative for Women.”
