Sarah Lawrence College received a $1 million commitment from Trustee and alumna Ellen Flamm '59 and her family to establish The Ellen Schloss Flamm and Family Endowed Fund for Faculty Research and Development. This commitment represents the inaugural gift toward funding a major campaign priority to support curriculum and course development, faculty research, professional enrichment, creative projects and project development for student/ faculty collaboration. Ellen's lifelong commitment to Sarah Lawrence includes roles as a dedicated volunteer, benefactor, member of the Campaign Steering Committee, and member of the Board of Trustees. This gift reflects a special understanding of the Sarah Lawrence faculty–an appreciation no doubt honed as the mother of Michael W. Flamm, Professor of History at Ohio Wesleyan University, and spouse of Richard Peterson, Emeritus Professor of Literature.

The College has also received a commitment of $1 million dollars from alumna Paula Rudnick '72 and her husband Allan, parents of Allison, a 2007 alumna. The Rudnicks' generous gift is designated for unrestricted endowment support, providing the College with the flexibility to support its overall mission and priorities. Paula is a current member of the Board of Trustees and she and Allan serve on the Campaign Steering Committee. The Rudnicks are frequent hosts of Faculty on the Road and alumni events in Los Angeles, and legendary ambassadors for the College in California.

These leadership gifts from members of the Sarah Lawrence Board of Trustees help launch a comprehensive campaign that will shape the future of Sarah Lawrence College.
