Dear Sweet Briar alumnae and friends, Friendship and family have been on my mind lately, and so I want to tell you about some new friends I’ve been making this semester. One of them is Ray, who is tall and smart and also known as Love Z, and the other is Blues, who is very personable and a wonderful teacher. My friendship with Ray has grown over time; frankly, I didn’t seem to make much of an impression on him at first. My friendship with Blues blossomed immediately; we seem to be simpatico. As I joked with Merrilee “Mimi” Wroten, the director of Sweet Briar’s acclaimed riding program, maybe I bonded faster with Blues because he’s rather short, and so am I. And if you haven’t already figured it out, Ray, a chestnut warmblood, and Blues, a gray quarter horse, are members of the College’s equine family, and along with Mimi, they’ve been teaching me how to ride. As Sweet Briar’s president, it’s vital for me to learn as much as I can about the Col- lege, its programs and its people. That’s why I taught a course in our inaugural three- week session in the fall of 2018; that’s why I have just instituted collegial gatherings of faculty and staff every Monday evening (called Sweet Briar Hour); and that’s why I’m taking riding lessons, so that I can better understand our equestrian program, its ac- complishments and its needs. Riding also gives me a connection with many members of our Sweet Briar family; a full third of our students identify as riders, whether for competition or recreation. In fact, the more I learn about horses and riding, the more I see that equestrian skills have a strong connection to our new core curriculum with its focus on leadership. Riders develop trust in and empathy for their equine part- ners; riders learn perseverance and discipline; riders gain confidence. These traits are among the habits of mind, along with problem-solving and creativity, that democratic leadership requires, and which our core curriculum aims to inculcate in every Sweet Briar student. Seeing our horses grazing in our pastures is a beautiful, bucolic sight and always raises my spirits. It also reminds me that farming was part of Sweet Briar’s history — and it’s about to become an important part of the College’s present and future. We are implementing a number of agricultural initiatives, ranging from an apiary to green- houses that will grow organic vegetables and herbs for our dining hall, to vineyards that will produce grapes we will market to wineries throughout Virginia. You can read more about our plans to bring aspects of Sweet Briar’s farming legacy back to life and the ways in which the farm will be integrated into our academic program in the story on page 2. I’m excited to share this news about the farm with you, many of whom I’ve had the pleasure to meet and become friends with since I came to Sweet Briar. As I reflect no the benefits of friendship and family, I want you to know how much I value the stories you’ve shared with me about Sweet Briar’s influence on your personal and professional lives. Thank you for all that you do to support the College. I look forward to seeing you back on campus — and if you haven’t already met them, I’ll introduce you to Ray and Blues.

Sincerely,

Meredith Woo CONTENTS MAGAZINE Spring 2019, Vol. 89, No. 1 Deep Roots: Farming at Sweet Briar This magazine aims to present interesting and 2 Sweet Briar has a long history of farming.

LET’S BUILD A KILN

In the fall, Shawn O’Connor’s students built a kiln as part of a course on alternative firing processes. “I chose the paper kiln for a few reasons,” Shawn said. “The first was that the students had to construct the kiln themselves, so they had a better understanding of how the kiln worked and the process of firing. The other reason was for the immediacy of the pro- cess and cost of the kiln.” The students built the kiln in one day using wood, chicken wire, bricks and clay-covered newspaper. After letting it all dry for two days, they fired up the wood inside the kiln. On the third day, they took down the structure to reveal the baked ceramics pieces. Studio art major Amelia Mendelsohn ’20 said the project was one of her favorites. She enjoyed getting outside with her classmates and had fun getting a little messy. It was also a learning experience, of course. “My piece had actually taken some damage in an earlier firing process, but Professor O’Connor helped me put it back together and I ended up with something I was proud of,” she says. “I think the best thing about the project was learning how much is left to chance in ceramics and how to be happy with a result you didn’t initially expect.”

Check out the video of the students working on the kiln on our YouTube Channel under “Academic Pursuits.”
