Brescia Legacy Club seeking alumnae mentors

As you may know, students can benefit greatly by connecting with professionals already working in their chosen careers. The length of commitment can vary from a one-time virtual or face-to-face meeting, to a series of meetings depending on the degree of mentorship experience desired and mutually agreed upon. If you're interested in mentoring a student from a current or past Brescia program, please contact: Ellen Hargraves (Haber).

Alumnae Rings

The Brescia Alumnae Ring, which features an engraved dove, is symbolic of the wisdom, justice and compassion our students and graduates carry with them out into the world. If you are an alumna who didn't receive a Brescia ring, you can still be part of this exciting tradition that is exclusive to Brescia graduates. Please contact JB Simpson Jewellers to order your ring today.
