Seniors and soon to be fellow alumni, congratulations on graduating from Sarah Lawrence College! We accomplished something incredible this year that will have a lasting impact on Sarah Lawrence.
Our willingness to support our senior class gift shows as a class how much we value our experience and our time here. We want to ensure that future students have access to the same life changing academic experience like the one we received. Three out of every four students receive financial aid that enables them to attend Sarah Lawrence. This is made possible through the generous support of alumni, parents, friends, and students like us.
If you haven’t participated yet, but would still like to, gifts to our Senior Class Gift effort can be made through May 31st!
Ensuring access to our unique and life changing academic and student experience is what the senior class gift is all about. As alumni, we have the opportunity to continue the momentum from this year’s efforts and dollar by dollar make it possible for students to attend Sarah Lawrence who wouldn’t otherwise have access to the College. If we stay engaged we can continue to positively impact the future of Sarah Lawrence.
Thank you firstly to President Cristle Collins Judd for generously matching every senior’s gift this year with a symbolic 21 dollars representative of our class year. Thank you to the generous donors who provided giving challenges throughout the year to encourage donations! And, finally, thank you to the class of 2021 for supporting the College and future students!
