Milestones

Bronzed
Kevin McCaffrey, associate director of communications, and David LaChance garnered a bronze medal in the Council for Advancement and Support of Education's annual Circle of Excellence national awards competition for their media relations work on last summer’s U.S. Women’s Open. LaChance, former media relations associate, has moved on to edit Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car, an automotive magazine.

Riding Strong
Mount Holyoke’s dressage team traveled to Lake Erie College in Painesville, Ohio, for the Intercollegiate Dressage Association’s National Championship April 23–24. The Mount Holyoke team, which has won the championship three years in a row, lost by one point to the host college, making them Reserve National Champions. Overall, 12 teams of four riders competed in the Saturday team event. MHC team members who competed Saturday were Nicole Mazzeo ’05 at first level, Asheley Ireland ’08 at upper training level, Nadine Krause ’07 at lower training level, and Jaimee Steiner ’08 at introductory level. Mount Holyoke sent five riders to Sunday’s individual competition.

Mississippi Moviemaker
Katy Smith ’06, a film studies and history major, recently entered two of her films in the Crossroads Film Festival in her hometown, Jackson, Mississippi. In Her Stories, Smith traced the lives of her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother through letters and diaries, putting together an alternative female history within the traditional patriarchal society. Her second film is a music video titled Far Away, a song by Alexander’s Dark Heart, a Jackson band for which she used to play bass. One of Smith’s primary role models is her father, who first bought her a video camera to document theatrical productions she worked on from an early age and throughout high school. Her father, who also makes films and had an entry in the festival, told the Jackson Clarion Ledger, “She taught me everything I know … if it weren’t for her I wouldn’t have known how to shoot digital and load the material … to edit it.”
