Promoting Democracy and Human Rights Through Education in Guatemala

During his visit, he’ll be speaking to students in seven classes, spanning social entrepreneurship, global studies, Latin America, and political science.  He’ll also meet with different student groups for lunch and further discussion.

Theatre Production of Agatha Christie's "Spider Web"

This fall’s theatre production will be Agatha Christie’s “Spider’s Web.” A murder mystery farce, the play is set at a house in the English countryside. Clarissa, the second wife of Henry Hailsham-Brown, is known for spinning tales of adventure, but when a murder takes place in her own drawing room, she finds live drama much harder to cope with, especially as she suspects that the murderer might be her young stepdaughter, Pippa.

LaToya Hearns '03

"Marymount taught me to be curious," shares LaToya Hearns, a 2003 graduate whose Marymount experience led to continued studies at the University of Southern California  an internship to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and a full-time employment at the University of California Los Angeles as the senior contracts and grants manager.

"It's survival of the fittest' at USC and UCLA, and Marymount definitely prepared me to do well there. But in addition to a strong academic foundation, i gained so many valuable life skills," Latoya says.

"I appreciated being exposed to different cultures at Marymount and learning to be culturally sensitive  In my work at UCLA, we see a plethora of cultures, so it is important to explain things in different ways based on various cultures. All those cultural experiences and activities at Marymount College prepared me to be able to relate. And when you can relate to people, they see you as being the same as they are," LaToya says.
