Meet Mary Stonor Saunders. Mary grew up on Manhattan’s upper west side (back in THE day!), but spent three months a year in a town with only 800 people. Her mom was from an old American family and held a master’s degree, whereas her father, born in Palestine (his Armenian parents fled the genocide) and never completed his high school diploma.
After graduating from Kenyon College with a B.A. in religious studies and psychology, she moved to London and then Washington, DC before coming to Chicago to attend University of Chicago’s School of Social Service Administration (now Crown) where she received a Master’s in health administration and policy.
As with her origins, her professional life cuts across many sectors and fields. She has done everything from cleaning summer cabin rentals (yuck) and tending bar, to managing The Washington Post’s events marketing department and working in the press room, to directing the University of Chicago’s Graduate Program in Health Administration and Policy. She has done strategy and development work in early childhood education, health care, youth development, gun violence, and food manufacturing.
