SWEET BRIAR COLLEGE Dear Sweet Briar alumnae and friends, It was a busy spring and summer here at Sweet Briar, where our faculty and staff diligently developed an almost entirely new curriculum and new course descriptions. I could not be more proud of what they accomplished and can’t wait to see their hard work put into practice. As we launched our first-ever three-week intensive session, more than half of the student body took the first course in our leadership core, Design Thinking, meaning that not only did all of our first-year students take it, but about 60 of our upperclasswomen chose to transition to the core, as well. They are just as excited as we are to see where our innovative curriculum leads. You can learn more about our Design Thinking course on page 6. The rest of our students took courses in a variety of topics — from business negotia- tion to the love story; from smartphone photography to the ways in which the ancient world can provide solutions to contemporary problems. I was able to teach my first class at Sweet Briar during the session and I was pleased — though not at all surprised — by the thoughtful discussions we had. I expect nothing less from the intelligent and insight- ful young women who make up our student body. Like the academic faculty and staff, the alumnae relations and development staff had a busy summer. Their hard work — and your generosity — led to another successful year of fundraising, exceeding the College’s goal for the third year in a row with a total of $18.4 million in gifts and pledges. My second Reunion was just as wonderful as the first, with more than 300 alumnae on campus remembering their college days and celebrating successes — their own and Sweet Briar’s. You can see pictures from Reunion on page 18. On page 10, you’ll read a story by guest author Repps Hudson, the brother of Ginnie Toone ’53, who enjoyed a road trip to Sweet Briar from St. Louis to attend Reunion. As summer came to an end, dozens of alumnae came to Sweet Briar to clean, weed, paint and more, getting our beautiful campus ready to greet our new and returning students. In the life of a college, we often talk about the end of the year, commencement, as being a time of new beginnings. And of course it is. But the start of a school year is also a time of renewal. For Sweet Briar, that is especially true this year. While there is much new about the College, there is much that remains true to her heritage. It’s still a place where women of grit, courage and consequence come to learn and build a foundation that will lead them into the future. It is still a community that supports its members while also encouraging them to take risks and seek out new expe- riences. Thank you for being part of our community.

Sincerely,

Meredith Woo MAGAZINE Fall 2018, Vol. 88, No. 2
