Hood has been in my blood since before I was born! My grandmother, Emma Cornpropst O’Neill ’22, entered Hood in 1918, my mother, Nancy O’Neill Carignan ’48, arrived in 1944 and, a few decades later, I entered as a transfer in the fall of 1977. The bench I’m sitting on, dedicated to my grandmother, sits in front of my building, the Joseph Henry Apple Resource Center.
My favorite thing about Hood has always been the people. From the time I arrived as a student and throughout my time as an employee, it’s been the faculty and staff that make Hood a great place. We have a beautiful campus but it pales in comparison to the individuals that are Hood.
