Ursuline Academy Alumnae Association
The Alumnae Association represents generations of women empowered to lead Ursuline Academy, and guided by tradition. The Association Board works to engage alumnae in the school through networking, fundraising events, and strengthening the bonds of friendship that began at Ursuline.
Join our efforts and we seek to spread the Ursuline Serviam spirit to each other and the students who follow in our footsteps. We invite you to get involved and share your talents with Ursuline.

Hanna Burke '16 // President
Ursuline remains important to me because it was super important in building my confidence, and also was the place where I met some of my best friends!
Kelly LaPoint Genetti '11 // Events
Ursuline was the foundation for so many different aspects of my life that have made a lasting impact, even up until today: my education, career, personal growth, confidence, and, most importantly, my friendships.
Sheri Stulce Potsos '92 // Secretary
I had such a wonderful experience attending UA and walked away with an excellent education, a foundation that prepared me for success in college and beyond, as well as lifelong friends. I was delighted when my own two daughters chose UA as their school of choice. The UA Legacy continues for our family.
Janie Fechter '20 // Young Alumnae
Ursuline has helped shape me into the woman I am today. The lifelong friendships, teachers and staff, and overall community of Ursuline is one of a kind. Because of this, I hold UA close to my heart and enjoy staying involved in any way I can.
Rose Tvetene '16 // Events
When I think of my time at Ursuline, two words come to mind: community and opportunity. Ursuline provided me with so many opportunities that shaped me into the woman I am today. Student council, athletics, volunteering opportunities, retreats, honor societies…the list goes on and on. Ursuline also brought me a group of strong, courageous, and empowered young women with whom I am proud to be friends to this day! It is an honor to give back to such an amazing community.
Joan Ottenlips Zilch '82 // Outreach
My 3 daughters Clare, Elizabeth, and Ann Marie graduated in 2011, 2014, and 2022. Even though we spanned many years at Ursuline, my girls shared many of the same teachers. These teachers are why Ursuline remains important to me!
Ashley McCaffrey Hendrix ‘17 // Past President
Ursuline shaped my Catholic faith and showed me the importance of Serviam. Ursuline works to build a strong community for young girls and educate them on the importance of school, service, and faith while supporting their talents and individual journeys.
Madi Corsi '17 // Faith Formation
Ursuline gave me the confidence to form into the adult I am today. I want to continue to build my confidence and others by connecting us as Alumnae.
