Thank you to everyone who joined us for Family & Friends Weekend 2022!
From October 21-23, more than 700 parents, siblings, grandparents, godparents, aunts, uncles, friends, and neighbors of Sarah Lawrence students joined us for Friends & Family Weekend. Under sunny skies and surrounded by brilliant fall colors, guests enjoyed a full schedule that offered a glimpse into life at SLC.
Celebrate Sarah Lawrence kicked things off on Friday afternoon. This showcase of student and faculty work featured dance and music performances, science experiments, art exhibits, student film screenings, and a Community Adventure Play Experience (CAPE) from the Child Development Institute.
Also on Friday evening, and again on Saturday, family and friends took in a performance of Rabbits, Rabbits, a new puppet work created by Camille Cooper '23. And on Saturday our student athletes were in action, and it was great to see our Gryphons cheered on by their loved ones in a variety of matches.
On Saturday morning, President Cristle Collins Judd shared brief highlights of what's happening at Sarah Lawrence and led a Q&A session in which she was joined by Provost Kanwal Singh and Interim Dean of Studies & Student Life Jody Spooner. After a legendary Bates Brunch, families attended a History Matters event with fellow parent Paul Edwards P'26, Director of the Program on Science, Technology & Society at Stanford University.
Parents and families hold a special place and play an important role in the Sarah Lawrence community. It was wonderful to have so many of you with us!
