In the Bronxville Patch, students Amelia Woodside '11, Katherine Graham '11, Hans Kulla-Mader '12, Lauren Miller '11, and Elizabeth Koscianski '12 discuss the Sarah Lawrence pedagogy and how the “conference-style, heavily interpersonal education” they receive will uniquely prepare them for life and work after graduation. The students, reports writer Ahmed Mori, "feel so prepared by the school, they approach post-college life with a sort of gusto often lacking in other elite collegians." Alumna Julianna Margulies appeared on the September 8th episode of Late Show with David Letterman. In her segment, she spoke about her Sarah Lawrence education and her nerve-wracking return to campus as the 2010 Commencement speaker, remarking that the previous year’s speaker, former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel ‘81, was a tough act to follow. The New Haven Independent profiles Dr. Anne Camp ’78 and Rebecca Kline ‘06 and their work at the Fair Haven Community Health Center (FHCHC). Dr. Camp runs the center's groundbreaking diabetes prevention program, which uses exercise and education to tackle high rates of diabetes in the neighborhood, and Kline runs a garden that is key to program.
