POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The move back to the West Coast has happened.

Of course, the moving company had a mom of a Bennett Belle leading the crew!

The Blue Carpet was rolled out b/c it's a Bennett move. At least that's what I choose to believe.

This is my final post. I won't say good bye-- instead I'll say à bientôt (see you soon). Thanks for the hard work, memories & for being part of the Belleverse. 🔔💙

Until we meet again,
Prez by @bennettpres_sew

Belleverse it's time for my last posts. There are no words that can capture my thanks to each of you for your commitment to @bennett_college. I wish I had time to hug each of you, say thank YOU & whisper in your ear how much you have uniquely meant to the College & the #BennettBelles. 🔔💙

Until we meet again,
Prez

Belle Miriam Richardson ’25, who graduated magna cum laude this past Saturday, was recently featured on WGHP Fox 8 News, where she shared her powerful journey of turning pain into purpose. A first-generation college graduate, Miriam faced unimaginable loss, losing both parents just weeks apart during her junior year. Despite it all, she persevered, dedicating herself to her studies and leaning on her Belle sisters for support.

Her strength and resilience are nothing short of inspiring, and we are incredibly proud of all that Miriam has accomplished!
