Women of Excellence: Year of Growth, Confidence, and Community
The Women of Excellence (WE) Leadership Program concluded its inaugural year at Washington & Jefferson College, having achieved exactly what it set out to do: build confidence, foster leadership skills, and create a strong community of women leaders on campus.
When the program began, many students already knew one another through classes, athletics, or co-curricular activities and naturally gravitated toward familiar peers. Overtime, those boundaries started to shift.
"When students started the program, many of them already knew each other--from classes, athletics, and co-curricular activities--and naturally gravitated toward those familiar connections during workshops," said Kaisha Jantsch, co-chair of the Women of Excellence Leadership Program. "By the end of the fall semester, those divisions had begun to diminish, and students started to see themselves as part of a singular community. I hope that, through spring programming, they continue letting go of those groupings and come together as leaders with a shared purpose."
Building Confidence Through Leadership
For Eva Chatterjee-Sutton, the growth she witnessed affirmed the program's purpose.
"It's heartening to see the level of confidence that has developed among the women who participated in the program," Chatterjee-Sutton said. "Based on their reflection, collectively they mentioned that they have grown their leadership skills, learned from mentors, and developed a stronger sense of self. I am confident that these women will evolve in their leadership on and off campus; they are a special group of W&J women."
The program was one Chatterjee-Sutton had long hoped to bring to campus.
"This is a program I have wanted to start at W&J, having implemented it at two previous institutions," she said. "The launch of WOW, the Women of W&J alumni program, was a great motivator to start the program this year."
Designed to strengthen leadership skills while building community, WE center mentorship is a key element of student growth.
"The mentorship aspect of the program is critical in connecting our leaders with a woman who can provide perspective, life experience, and support," Chatterjee-Sutton added. "It's a testament to the best of women supporting women."
Mentorship That Made an Impact
Each WE participant was paired one-to-one with a mentor--female leaders from the W&J and Washington County communities--matched based on shared interests and experiences. Throughout the fall semester, mentors and mentees connected through calls, coffee meetings, shared meals, and campus visits, with many mentors attending milestone moments such as the Magellan Project Showcase.
Fall surveys confirmed the impact of these relationships, with both mentors and mentees describing the experience as meaningful and influential in shaping confidence and direction.
Leadership Rooted in Community
Community emerged as one of the program's most powerful outcomes. That sense of connection was evident at the End-of-Year Celebration, where students exchanged contact information, shared spring plans, and encouraged one another's goals. In one moment that captured the spirit of WE, Danielle, a 2025 Magellan Scholar, encouraged fellow participant Priyanka to pursue a Magellan Project--demonstrating how leadership and confidence grow through shared support.
Looking Ahead
During the fall semester, students participated in six bi-weekly leadership workshops led by female professionals at W&J, focusing on communication, collaboration, organization and planning, negotiation and advocacy, creative problem-solving, and decision-making. Each workshop began with a "Slay of the Day," celebrating achievements before moving into collaborative discussions.
Mentorship will continue into the spring alongside service and organizational opportunities, as well as shared WE/WOW experiences, including a day trip to the Canton Museum of Art and the WOW Summit.
As Women of Excellence prepares to welcome its next cohort, the program's first year has already laid a strong foundation--one rooted in confidence, connection, and shared leadership. The relationships built, skills strengthened, and community formed through WE will continue shaping how these students lead on campus and beyond.

The below message was sent to the Bryn Mawr community on Dec. 22, 2025.
Dear Bryn Mawr Community,
We write to put in place an Interim Policy for the Prevention of Discrimination, Discriminatory Harassment, and Retaliation as part of our continuing commitment to the wellbeing of all community members and to ensure prompt compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. This policy enables us to continue to foster an environment of equityand inclusion, and is effective as of today, December 22, 2025. This policy supersedes and replaces all policies and procedures concerning discrimination and harassment outlined in the faculty, staff, and student handbooks.
This interim policy establishes clear standards of conduct for all members of our community as well as procedures for addressing concerns related to discrimination, discriminatory harassment, and retaliation. It covers discrimination in both access to educational opportunities and employment and addresses discrimination on the basis of actual or perceived protected characteristics, including age, citizenship status, color, disability, gender identity/expression, genetic information, national origin, pregnancy or related conditions, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, and veteran status. This policy also describes the College's response to reports and outlines resolution procedures.
Policies of this length and detail are the norm at institutions like ours and are consistent with the requirements of federal, state, and local laws that cover students and employees of the College. We welcome feedback from our community on this interim policy through April 1, 2026, using this online feedback form. The College will review all feedback and make any needed revisions by the end of the spring 2026 semester to finalize the policy.
The College's Office of Civil Rights and Title IX will offer education on the policy and its associated procedures and provide opportunities to receive feedback from community members. The first two of these opportunities will be general sessions open to the community, which will be held on:
* Thursday, January 22 from 4-5pm in Old Library (Room 224)
* Wednesday, January 28 from 12-1pm in Carpenter Library (Room B21)
Individuals can sign up for these general sessions in advance using this form. There will be continued educational opportunities throughout the semester, as well as open office hours with Cary Carr, Director of the College's Office of Civil Rights and Title IX.

Leaves' Pores Explain Longstanding Mystery of Uneven Tree Growth in a Carbon-Enriched World
The mechanics of how water and carbon dioxide move in and out of plants greatly affects how trees grow in a carbon-dioxide-enriched environments.
*
The basics of photosynthesis are something that every student learns in school: carbon dioxide, water and light in; oxygen and sugar for growth out. In a world where atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are rising, it is plausible to thinkthat trees and other plant life growth will rise in lockstep.
But that is not what observations have borne out. As global levels of carbon dioxide have risen, measurements of tree growth--and how much carbon they are storing for the long-term--have varied greatly. How much of that variance can be attributed to carbon dioxide levels has long been unknown.
In a paper published online on November 24 in the journal Nature Climate Change (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-025-02504-w), researchers led by Duke University and Wuhan University describe a model that answers many of these questions. By looking at the tradeoffs between taking in more carbon dioxide to grow and losing water to evaporation, they show how an engineer's view of this delicate balance in the pores of a tree's leaves can explain and predict its growth over decades and centuries.
"There used to be a common assumption that higher levels of carbon dioxide will cause trees to grow more and store more carbon," said Gaby Katul, the George Pearsall Distinguished Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke. "But benchmark experiments showed that while this may be true in isolation, other environmental factors also play a large role. We have now uncovered some of the underlying mechanisms at work."
The benchmark experiments Katul is referring to took place at Duke University and ETH Zurich to investigate how much carbon the world's forests might capture in a future carbon-rich atmosphere. Over the course of 16 years, the Duke site fed groups of trees excess carbon dioxide while the ETH Zurich site increased their local humidity levels. By closely measuring tree growth and carbon sequestration, and monitoring many other variables, researchers showed that trees in general would not take in nearly as much carbon as previously conjectured.
But the reasons why were still not fully understood. To help explain these results, and dozens of others from around the world, Katul and his collaborators turned to an engineer's view of water movement in a tree.
For a tree to take in carbon dioxide, it must open pores on its leaves called stomata. With more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the working assumption has been that proportionally more carbon dioxide would enter these pores.
However, in warmer and drier environments, water evaporates from these pores into the atmosphere more quickly. To keep their internal water systems balanced, trees compensate by making their stomatal pores smaller, which in turn leads to them absorbing less carbon dioxide.
This dynamic causes a direct tradeoff between gathering more carbon dioxide to grow and losing water needed to survive. And to complicate matters further, there is a delicate balance of water tension held throughout a tree's roots, trunk and limbs that risks disruption if too much water is lost too quickly, especially as trees reach their mature heights.
"Stomata are like valves that control how much water is drawn up into the leaves and released into the air," said Katul.

Credit Union Foundation of BC helps RRU students when "life happens"
By Amy Dove
When unexpected setbacks happen, it's reassuring to know you have a community behind you.
That's exactly why the Credit Union Foundation of BC has invested $5,000 into the Royal Roads University Life Happens Bursary.
"We hear from students that say, 'It gave me such a boost to know that somebody cares about my education and values it enough that they wanted to support me,'" says Nicole Eich, Credit Union Foundationof BC Program Manager. "It's important for students to know that there are programs out there that can lift them up, and that there are people behind them that care about their success."
For when life happens
Created by a former staff member and alum Doug Ozeroff, the Life Happens Bursary emergency fund provides one-time payments of $500 to $1,000 to students dealing with unforeseen challenges that could jeopardize their education. The investment from the Credit Union Foundation of BC will help ensure more grants are available when they are needed most.
"I can only imagine what a relief this emergency funding would be, if you're a student trying your best to make your way through school," Eich says of the importance of the fund. "If something unexpected pops up, that extra support can mean the difference between being able to finish that semester or having to pull back and delay your studies."
Community roots, community support
Established in 1958, the Credit Union Foundation of BC is funded by BC credit unions and provides bursaries to students who reflect credit union and co-operative values and who face barriers to completing their post-secondary education. That support comes in two ways: through bursaries to support tuition costs at BC post-secondary schools - including the Credit Union Pioneers Memorial Bursary at Royal Roads - and additional targeted granting.
"Credit unions provide banking services and serve communities all across the province," Eich says. "Our bursaries and support for post-secondary education have that same province-wide reach."
Reviewing funding applications, the Foundation noticed emerging trends.
"We definitely saw students struggling with mental health coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic and changes in the way students are experiencing school," Eich says. "And of course, the cost of living is such a barrier to education. There are a ton of students coming to us saying, 'This is just almost impossible to do.'"
That's why the Foundation deliberately sought out grant opportunities that help students manage unexpected life costs. The Life Happens Bursary was a perfect fit, Eich says.
Giving Gratitude
The impact of supporting students' education shines through in the thank you cards the Foundation receives.
"We will have students say, 'Thank you. What you have done for me is amazing, and when I am able, I want to be a donor so I can support students in the way that you have supported me,'" Eich says.

Vast Freshwater Reserves Found Beneath Salinity-Stressed Coastal Bangladesh
Drinking water is often scarce in Bangladesh. These researchers have tapped into a potential solution.
*
Despite its tropical climate and floodplain location, Bangladesh--one of the world's most densely populated nations--seasonally does not have enough freshwater, especially in coastal areas. Shallow groundwater is often saline, a problem that may be exacerbated by rising sea levels. Rainfall is highlyseasonal and stored rainwater often runs out by the end of the dry season. And contamination by naturally occurring arsenic deposits and other pollutants farther inland further depletes supplies of potable water, which can run desperately short during annual dry seasons. According to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, 41 percent of Bangladeshis do not have consistent access to safe water.
Hoping to ease the crisis, researchers from Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, which is part of the Columbia Climate School, led an exploration for new freshwater sources along the Pusur River in the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta. They recently published their results (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-65770-4) in the journal Nature Communications.
The results, which indicate vast freshwater reservoirs beneath coastal Bangladesh, could help millions of people who lack access to potable water. It is also a demonstration of a new technique for sensing water sequestered deep underground, raising the possibility that hidden reserves could be available in other water-starved regions with similar geological histories.
While some experts knew about these reservoirs, hundreds of meters belowground, their location and extent had not been previously established. Finding freshwater deep underground was thought to be hit or miss.
The researchers used a technique called deep-sensing magnetotelluric soundings to measure faint electrical currents in sediments up to a few kilometers beneath the delta. Because freshwater is less electrically conductive than saltwater, the researchers were able to map the distribution of freshwater. They identified two reservoirs: one that extends 800 meters deep and stretches about 40 kilometers along the northern part of the surveyed area, and another to the south that reaches a depth of 250 meters and stretches 40 kilometers. The northern reservoir likely extends tens of kilometers beyond the survey area.
The reservoirs appear to have been formed by geological processes during the last 20,000 years, as falling sea levels first exposed once-submerged land to fresh water before inundation by rising sea level sealed it off. The saline water separating the two reservoirs correspond to the location of the ancient Ganges River. The valley it formed when sea level was low was flooded with salt water when sea level rose. Thus, the saltwater separating the two fresh reservoirs correspond to the location of the ancient Ganges River.
"During the last ice age, sea level was 400 feet lower and the shoreline was 80 to100 miles farther seaward," explains study co-author Michael Steckler, a geophysicist at Lamont. Rainfall and floods filled aquifers with freshwater; meanwhile the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers delivered sediments eroded from the Himalayas, with the finest spread across the delta's lower reaches. When sea levels rose again and flooded the land, says Steckler, "muddy sediments trapped and preserved the freshwater below." The buried positions of the rivers 20,000 years ago can be used to identify where the deep groundwater is fresh or saline.
According to Steckler, it's not uncommon in Bangladesh for deep wells to be dug without knowing how much water is present and how much can be extracted. This study provides a framework for mapping where the fresh water can and cannot be found.
The full-size dimensions of the reservoirs and how much water they contain has yet to be determined, but it could be on the order of 10 billion cubic meters, or about 4 million Olympic-sized swimming pools. Other open questions include the rate at which water can be safely extracted. If too much is removed too quickly, it could pull saltwater deposits overlaying the reservoirs down into the freshwater, rendering it saline.
"To use these kinds of groundwater, people need to carefully plan the water management ahead of time," says Huy Le, a geophysicist at Lamont and the study's lead author. Sustainable management is essential--but Le also notes that with time, perhaps a few thousand years, natural salinization processes will eventually turn the reservoirs salty. "It will disappear if we don't use it," he says.
Although the study focused on Bangladesh, the researchers say it has implications elsewhere: Similar reservoirs may be found in other coastal deltas and continental margins with similar geological histories to Bangladesh. "Sea levels fluctuated everywhere. It's a global phenomenon," says Le.
The study was coauthored by Kerry Key, formerly of Lamont and now at Deep Blue Geophysics; Nafis Sazeed, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology; Mark Person, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology; Anwar Bhuiya, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh; Mahfuzur R. Khan, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh; and Kazi M. Ahmed, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh.
