Jagna Braunthal was a student at the college from summer of 1944 to spring 1945. She is noted in travels to an inter-racial conference and on committee hiking trips, working on the farm, and is listed on the cleaning and chemical committees for the science building.

Jagna mentioned in her application that she had participated in work camps in other places and the idea of a working community at BMC was the most interesting quality for her. She was also interested in bringing her bike and asked about "extensive" hikes that she could partake in while a student.
