Class of 2025 graduate Sadie Swinney will attend Vassar College this fall, to major in English with a concentration in creative writing. Being a storyteller her whole life, it was almost a no-brainer for senior Sadie Swinney that she would start writing at a young age. She wrote her first novel at the age of 13, and once she got to high school, delved into a full novel that she has been working on since freshman year, and saw herself making a career out of writing.

She always knew she wanted to go to a small liberal arts college, but didn’t know she specifically wanted to go to Vassar until she went up and toured it and saw all the school had to offer her.

“It focuses a lot on diversity and making education accessible to underrepresented communities, which is really important to me,” Swinney said. “I am excited to be part of a community that is really passionate to be there.”

While touring the campus, she got to learn more about the English program and saw how developed and strong it was with passionate professors.

“I got to listen to some mini lectures while I was there,” Swinney said. “It just seems like a really great community for learning and for curiosity, and especially that’s facilitated by the professors.”

Although Swinney is excited for this new chapter of her life, she is going to miss all that McCallum has to offer.

“I think I’ll absolutely have a lot of opportunities in college,” Swinney said. “But I think that McCallum is a really amazing place to let your creativity shine and have a lot of opportunities to express yourself and to do fun projects.”
