Welcome to the Mills College Club of New York!!
A major snowstorm on January 25, 2026, derailed our planned event, which was rescheduled to May 3 when we would be free from the arctic temps and snow. Our New York members were clearly ready for the chance to reconnect; we had alums in graduating classes from the 1960’s to 2020’s. The gathering was held at the midtown home of an alumna who graciously offered to host. We were fortunate to have Dean Beth Kochly from Oakland and Kristin Barrali from Boston attend. Dean Kochly updated us on the academic programs while Kristin talked about alumnae services. Everyone enjoyed a Middle Eastern feast, and the conversations lasted beyond our scheduled ending.
We'll have details about a fall event after the summer.

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.
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.
