| Reunion 2019: Thank You! |
|
With nearly 450 alumni, guests, faculty, and students on campus, Reunion was a special weekend for sharing past memories and creating new ones. Thank you for bringing your Sarah Lawrence spirit to seminars, Cabaret, midnight breakfast, and everything in between. A highlight was the conversation between President Cristle Collins Judd and author Dani Shapiro ’83, MFA ’89 during the Saturday Morning Session, which provided an opportunity for the audience to learn more about Shapiro, her work, and her experience writing her most recent bestseller, Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love. Read more about their conversation online. Select photos from the weekend along with a video by SLC film student Harrison O'Clair '20 are available on the Reunion website. More photos to come! We can’t wait to do it again next year, so save the date for Reunion 2020: Thursday, June 4 through Sunday, June 7.

Last Word: When I walked in, I felt time fold in on itself like an intricate piece of origami...That seventeen year old girl—that child!—who first set foot on those college grounds was a blurry creature who had spent her life mired in a thicket of secrets. You wouldn’t have placed a bet that she’d be back, years later, as a writer of many books, a woman who, people believed, had something of value to say. It was a spectacular feeling, a deeply validating one.
-Dani Shapiro '83, MFA '89 on returning to campus for Reunion 2019 to join President Cristle Collins Judd in conversation
