Jo Dutilloy

My name is Jo Dutilloy, class of 2017 and I am the current Songsmistress for the class of 2017.

I am running again simply because I love what I do which is to make Step Sing and traditions fun and comfortable for all the participants. My class is full of beautiful singers and every Step Sing is an opportunity to lead these you in the most enjoyable way possible. I’m loud and enthusiastic and unafraid of making a complete and utter fool of myself. I also really value the comfort and love of the community and will make it one of my first priorities to make sure people feel safe and welcome.

I believe that I will continue to be capable of this leadership as well as being present to teach songs and help out the Songsmistress/master/mistex for the upcoming class of 2018.

I fell in love with Bryn Mawr my first day here and it has been an honor to serve as Songsmistress. I hope I can continue to be a leading part of this community in the way I know best: by singing with others.

Emma Levin

My name is Emma Levin and I am running for Class of 2017 Songs Mistress. I want to be Songs Mistress because step sings are what made me fall in love with Bryn Mawr and I would love to be a more active part of them. Lantern Night and Parade Night are counted among the best nights of my life and I want to be a part of leading that fantastic experience for other people. While I’m not a talented singer, I learn lyrics quickly and easily and love to sing along to any song I know the words too. I hope to be elected so I can help make step sings and Lantern Night keep getting even more fun!
