he year was 1969. The Boeing 747 made its debut flight from Seattle to New York. The U.S. successfully launched and landed a man on the moon before any other country. And Woodstock, the 20th-century’s most iconic music festival, was held in the small town of Bethel, New York.
On the campus of GPS, members of the Class of 1969 were taking their first steps toward adulthood. During a time when mostly men became doctors, engineers, lawyers, and scientists, many from the Class of 1969 were eagerly stepping into these male-dominated fields. As individuals, they’ve achieved notable success by becoming businesswomen, architects, mothers, community activists, artists, teachers, and more. Their triumphs have led to awards, promotions, leadership positions, and numerous accolades. Their setbacks have opened doors to new ways of thinking, selfcompassion, respect, and connectivity to each other.
Over the past 50 years, collectively these women have experienced a world in which war, terrorism, health challenges, global upheaval, and noisy family turmoil have become commonplace. Despite this, they have thrived. The year is now 2019. Tesla electric cars have autopilot features that make driving nearly failsafe. The European Union has banned single-use plastic. And at the age of 14, Marsai Martin made headlines as the youngest person in Hollywood to ever produce a movie. On the campus of GPS, the Class of 1969 gathered to celebrate its 50th reunion during Alumnae Weekend in April and raised more than $74,000 for the school where it all began—the highest amount raised for a 50th class reunion. We, at GPS, deem this as quite notable.
