Beginning this fall, Sarah Lawrence College will implement provisions of proposed legislation intended to increase the number of eligible students registered to vote, introduced in the New York State Senate by Jeffrey Klein (Bronx, Westchester), and cosponsored by 10 other senators. The College will facilitate the voter registration process on campus by making both the New York State and the national registration forms available when students register for their courses and provide collection points for them as required in the bill.

Faculty on the Road Season Coming Soon
|
 |
|
The Edith Ingalls Vignos '45 Faculty on the Road Program brings together alumnae/i and faculty to re-create a Sarah Lawrence seminar. Members of our renowned faculty take their academic passions to cities across the country, and ask you to come prepared to discuss questions pertinent to their topics. It's not quite the same as sitting around a table in Dudley Lawrence Living Room, but you will find the same challenging give-and-take that marked your Sarah Lawrence experience.
The Fall schedule can now be found on our web site! Please watch your mailbox for your invitation, when we visit your town.
