Reunion 2011 classes have been generous. So far, the Class of 1966 will be honored with induction onto the Reunion Terrace —- their comprehensive giving has exceeded $1.5 million in the five years since our last Reunion. The Class of 1961 has set a goal of raising $100,000 for their 50th, and they are nearing that milestone, along with the Class of 1976, who are within $2,000 of reaching $100,000. The Class of 1951 is exemplary, with 57% participation and 22% of the class in the William & Sarah Lawrence Society. (You may track giving for all Reunion classes on the College’s web site.)
Remember that the fiscal year ends May 31—so please give generously in honor of your Reunion!

An exhibit of 40 framed vintage posters from World War I, featuring famous images of patriotic themes and messages, is on display in the Esther Raushenbush Library at Sarah Lawrence College through Thursday, June 30. The exhibit is free and open to the public. The exhibit documents “the first major national marketing campaign in 20th-century America [which] came not in the form of branding a product or selling a service but in the moving of an entire country, at a rapid pace, into the arena of a world war through the use of printed images,” said curator
Allison Hays Lane '83, in the introduction to the book she authored accompanying the exhibit.
