Did You Know?

Frances Pryor Irwin was 29 when she became the founding president of the American Junior College for Women in 1924. Thanks to her vision and diligence, the college succeeded in its first decade despite a difficult socioeconomic context. She advocated for funding to establish a campus, saw to the purchase of an adequate plot of land, and oversaw the design and construction of its first building, Sage Hall. The brand new “college on the hill” soon drew students from all over the region. Irwin died at the age of 44 while pursuing a PhD in the US, shattering her colleagues’ hopes that she would return to lead the college again. In 1950, the newly built Irwin Hall was named in honor of her enduring legacy.
