“TMLA was always a supportive environment for me. The teachers made us feel like we could achieve whatever we set our minds to. I had no sense that being a scientist was something that was ‘not for girls.’ TMLA empowered me and taught me that women have a ‘place at the big table’ no matter what your chosen career.

There are not many women in my field. TMLA set me on a course that has allowed me to compete and succeed in my chosen field. I also made the best friends at TMLA…friends I am still close to all these years later and feel so blessed to have had in my life.”
Maureen Gannon, PhD, ‘82

TMLA students participate in UN Commission on the Status of Women

Twenty-five TMLA students from service homerooms and five faculty members were invited to attend the Commission on the Status of Women 57 held at the UN from March 4 to March 15. They joined the approximately 60,000 women from around the world that came together for seminars, discussions, and workshops devoted to the topic of ending violence against women. The Mary Louis Academy was the only Catholic high school in Queens to be invited by the United Nations to attend this event.

TMLA members of the Service Homeroom Program are currently researching the issues of human trafficking, the education of women, and the power of technology in society. This knowledge enabled students to add insight into conversations at the conference and to actively participate in what was truly a global discussion with women from all around the world. Read More
