The Palmer
Society is Whittier College's oldest women's society tradition. We take pride
in the friendship, loyalty, scholarship, and service that our
sisterhood has brought to the Poet campus since 1921. Members and visitors
are invited to find out what is going on with the Palmer Society.

The Alumnae
Leadership Council hosted a transition mixer on Sunday, April 28, 5 pm at Phlight in Uptown Whittier for our Graduating Sisters and the Palmer Alumnae.
This event was a great opportunity for our newest alumnae to network and
seek alumnae leadership roles.
Please join us in congratulating our sisters on their
achievement, and expressing how great being a Palmer alumna really is!

The Palmer Society Alumnae Award Scholarship

Nancy Mercado '13 Wins the
2013 Palmer Alumnae Endowed Scholarship Award
The Palmer Society Alumnae are pleased to announce that
Nancy Mercado '13 is this year's recipient of the Palmer Society Alumnae
Endowed Scholarship. The Scholarship Panels this year were impressed by
Nancy's complete application and interview in which we learned a lot about her
service to the Palmer Society and how she embodies our Values and Ideals. We
are proud to call her our sister and know she has a bright future ahead of
her.
Nancy received her award at the Annual Scholarship Tea held on Sunday, January
27. This year's scholarship was named special "The 2013 Barbara Ondrasik Groce
Scholarship Prize" to acknowledge Barbara's role in helping to establish an
award that all Alumnae can be proud of giving. It has been a dream of many
Palmer Alumnae to be able to support our Active sisters with a financial award
for their studies for many years; Barbara's leadership was instrumental in
making this dream come true.
Please join us in Congratulating Nancy and thanking Barbara
for their leadership in the Palmer Society.
The Palmer Society Alumnae Scholarship is a merit based
award given to a currently active Palmer Society member in good standing who
models the values of the Palmer Society as stated in our Mission and Values
Statement. This scholarship was established in 2009 and endowed in 2011. The
2013 award is the fourth scholarship that we have given. The Palmer Society
community has steadily raised over $60,000 to endow this fund and continue to
work to grow it with the objective of offering both more scholarships and
bigger awards so we may honor more of hardworking active sisters. It is our
goal to "Help a Palmer Girl Fulfill her Dreams".
