  • Thank you for this

    A passion project driven by their love of our school. Love the regular podcasts that keeps me company in the garden.

    Hits best when guests aren’t immediately tied to their sorority and friend group though I can understand the need to find guests in a schedule.

Mary Maxon Grainger - The Woman Who Makes Cornell and Ithaca Better Every Day
Q: How did you navigate balancing family, work, and community involvement after graduation?
Mary discusses concentric circles of activity—home life, then larger community roles, and eventually positions in Planned Parenthood and public library involvement.
Mary Maxon Grainger - The Woman Who Makes Cornell and Ithaca Better Every Day
Q: What was life like on campus during your early days, and how did you get involved in student life?
She explains choosing a women's dorm, living in Baker Tower, and becoming known for greeting people and bringing in new friends, which laid the groundwork for later leadership roles.
Mary Maxon Grainger - The Woman Who Makes Cornell and Ithaca Better Every Day
Q: What were you like as a kid, and were you a natural organizer or a joiner?
She describes being the eldest of five, a caregiver from early on, and a “little mom” who didn't have many opportunities in sports but became a strong connector and booster for others.
Supermodel, Super Sporty, and Super Spiritual: Bruce Hulse!!
Q: What about runway presence and expressing personality—should models ever vary from a blank, emotionless stare?
Runway briefs dictate the vibe; rehearsals shape the walk, and designers may want emotion or interaction, but deviation is risky unless approved by the designer and agency.
Supermodel, Super Sporty, and Super Spiritual: Bruce Hulse!!
Q: Where do you stand on models making angry faces in ads or showing emotion to sell clothing?
Ad agencies decide the creative direction, and the finished image is the result of lots of planning and testing; the model simply follows the brief to serve the brand, not personal expression.
