Featured Article One: Image

More than we can see

JoAnn Collins ’79 wasn’t planning on the Roller Rally changing her life. After all, it was just skating. But it led to a journey to Olivet for a degree that gives her skills in assisting her adult children everyday. What’s more, she’s made it her life goal to be an advocate for others who understand what she’s been through.


Featured Article Two: Image Writer: dead or alive

Mary Lou (Swinney) Carney ’73 used to think you had to be dead to be a famous writer. But here she is, author of 20 books, editor at Guideposts, and well, very much alive.
