Sarah Lawrence College is honored to announce a $1.8 million bequest, received from the estate of the late Mary Morris Lawrence, who received her diploma in 1936. A photojournalist and the first female news photographer for the Associated Press, Lawrence went on to become a world-renowned documentary photographer.

During her years at SLC, Lawrence was actively involved in the College community. She returned to Sarah Lawrence to shoot photographs for the College’s viewbook, capturing the academic and social life of students. The archival photographs, which are exemplary depictions of campus life in the 1930s, can be viewed in an online exhibit, curated by College Archivist Abby Lester.

In 2001, Lawrence included these reflections in a submission to Class Notes: "I came to Sarah Lawrence, at 18, from a narrow-minded, straight-laced, socially correct boarding school. SLC turned me into a question-asker and independent thinker. My life now is still bolstered by what happened to me in college."

Backed by 10 school-record performances, Sarah Lawrence College women's swim team triumphed as champion of the 2012 Ranger Invitational, hosted by Drew University from Friday through Sunday. Sarah Lawrence beat out the host Rangers, College of Saint Elizabeth, Farleigh Dickinson University-Florham and Post University to improve on their runner-up finish last season.

Also, Sarah Lawrence won their basketball homecoming game! Supported by a homecoming crowd of more than 300 screaming Gryphon fans, Sarah Lawrence College edged Pratt Institute, 35-32, in a thrilling non-conference game at Noyes Court at Campbell Sports Center on Friday. The win came down to a tense final minute of play, during which the Green and White supporters helped the Gryphons pull out the narrow win and secure victory in the program's first home game as an NCAA team.
