Warm holiday wishes for every December celebration from your FSL team. December is a very important month. While we ring in the winter season we also come to the end of another calendar year. December is the perfect time to not only think about giving to Sarah Lawrence but to make your donation a reality. Contributions to the Fund provide critical resources to the SLC faculty and current students and are thus, presents that keep on giving. As well participation in the Fund is a present to you. The satisfaction gleaned from donating the gift of an education is palpable and a purchase that can be made without standing on any long lines. Your gift is one that will not be returned but cherished. So please contribute today and you will be able to make one less resolution you might not keep for the New Year. Before 2013 becomes 2014 make your contribution and feel good about your own generosity and get a tax deduction as well. Giving the gift of an education is the biggest win of all. So play the Sarah Lawrence Giving Game and donate today. You can mail your contribution to the Fund for Sarah Lawrence to 1 Mead Way/Bronxville, NY 10708; call us [Jody, Indra, Kin, Maria & Jessica] at 914-395-2533 or donate on line at www.slc.edu/give

Nominations for Alumni Citations Sought!
|
|
|
Eighteen years ago, the Sarah Lawrence Alumni Association established an annual recognition program to honor outstanding Sarah Lawrence alumni. Nominations for the citations are sought for all alumni celebrating a milestone Reunion in 2014 (class years ending in "4's" and "9s."). All nominations are confidential.
The Citation for Achievement is given to a person or persons whose work embodies the values and ideals of a Sarah Lawrence education, with the understanding that there is no one yardstick for achievement. The Alumni Citation for Service is presented to graduates for dedicated service to the College.
The Citation Selection Committee will select the recipients from the nominations. Citation Awards will be presented on Saturday, June 7 at a celebratory luncheon during Reunion 2014.
Submit a nomination for the Alumni Citation!
