FORGING A NEW PATH, SWEET BRIAR TURNS TO THE FUTURE Dear Sweet Briar Alumnae, Throughout this spring semester, distinguished women musicians, writers and policy makers have streamed to the campus, in a series dubbed “At the Invitation of the President.” As you will read in this issue, the series started in January with a remarkable all-women ensemble of scholar-performers dedicated to excavating little-known string trios from the 17th and 18th century, and it ended the semester with a lecture by Bettina Ring, the secretary of agriculture and forestry for the Commonwealth. Sweet Briar was a working farm for most of its history, a fact that does not escape the secretary, both as an important legacy we share and cherish, but also as a resurgent possibility for the future — for Sweet Briar and Central . Through this series, one learns stunning things about women who shape history. A gradu- ate of Sweet Briar, Delia Taylor Sinkov ’34 was a top code breaker who supervised a group of women who worked silently — under an “omerta” never to be betrayed in one’s lifetime — to break the Japanese navy and army codes and eventually to help win the Battle of Midway. Ultimately, the number of code breakers surpassed 10,000. While America is a country that loves and shines light on its heroes, women have often stayed in the shadow of that gleaming light; they are history’s greatest omission. “Do you like doing the crossword puzzle?” Navy recruiters would ask the potential code breakers. “And are you engaged to be married?” If the answer to the former was a “yes” and to the lat- ter a “no,” then the women were recruited to the first wave of large-scale intelligence work upon which the nation would embark. Do women exercise leadership differently than men? Scholars say they do. And should they exercise leadership differently? Ethicists say they should — for women, leadership is often more focused on accountability and more ethical. I don’t know the answers to those questions, but it may be that the women of today, as they step out of the shadow of the light cast on male heroes, will invent a style of leader- ship that is a little sui generis. I hope so. That is what Sweet Briar’s new leadership core that replaces general education is designed to do. It is a set of 10 required courses that distin- guishes Sweet Briar’s liberal arts education, which was instantly dubbed by The Chroni- cle of Higher Education as the innovative “integrated core with a theme.” The highlights include a focus on persuasive arguments and writing, artistic expression with visiting artists, “citizen science” to provide our students with the vocabulary to understand complex scientific challenges of our time, logical thinking with an emphasis on evidence and more. Unusual in this series of 10 courses is an insistence that every woman at age 18 should have financial literacy — some understanding of accounting, analysis and marketing — as well as know the principles of managing organizations, big and small. This leadership core will be launched in the fall beginning with an intensive three-week course, required of all first-years, called Design Thinking. It is a currently privileged way of saying “problem-solving.” In other words, how to define the problem, understand the objective, appreciate constraints and craft approaches to solving it. The course will be team- taught by a group of four scholar-teachers: a philosopher, an engineer, a psychologist and an electronic music composer. I hope it will open the eyes of our students and light the fire under them — the fire of learning that will burn brilliantly throughout their years at Sweet Briar and beyond. I wish I could be there in class with them, as I know you do.

Sincerely,

Meredith Woo Spring 2018, Vol. 88, No. 1
