How to step into confidence?

Harpswell's critical thinking classes support our Cambodian Women's Leadership students as they transition from observers to presenters to facilitators. As their confidence grows in research and public speaking, so do opportunities to mentor their peers.

To support these transitions, Harpswell staff recently facilitated refresher workshops for our first-years and third-years.

A favorite offering from our Harpswell Leadership Residents are cultural activities.

Recently, LR Aahrthi Karunagaran and some of our first-year Cambodian Women's Leadership students joined a flower workshop in the city.💐

"Our long-term dream is to open a furniture factory that produces luxury masterpieces created by Cambodians. We, Trokal Art & Furniture Store - ត្រកាល , want to show our customers the quality and elegance of products that are the handiwork of our 'Trakal' (ត្រកាល) craftsmanship." - Din Vutha '10, Harpswell Alumna

This Mother's Day, we celebrate the women of Harpswell who have grown into mothers and carers. Like Vutha, they do not stop at the walls of their home. They carry their love further into their communities and culture.

Happy Mother's Day!

In early 2026, I was invited to attend several weddings of Harpswell alumnae across various provinces in Cambodia. While traveling to Sihanoukville for Then Yanuth ’20 ’s wedding last February 2026, I was fortunate enough to hitch a ride with a former colleague, who is also a Harpswell alumna.&n

"Harpswell is, by design, a place for deep human development. Beyond the classroom, students are growing into themselves within a community that encourages a holistic contemplation and evolution of their dreams and goals."

Harpswell is taking a musical spin about town! 🎶✨

Our Cambodian Women's Leadership students joined Raffles Hotel for their series, "European Music Cultures- Piano Music in European Salons."

The performances brought to life Professor Monika Hennemann's recent music workshops held in our Phnom Penh leadership centers. From dressing-up to enjoying live music, it was a magical evening for everyone.
