Bryn Mawr College

Each year, hundreds of students begin shaping their time at Bryn Mawr at Fall Frolic, a vibrant introduction to the more than 100 student clubs on campus. These clubs, including those that make up the Alliance of Multicultural Organizations (AMOs), shape the student experience, spread connection, and help students find community. The bonds students make in these early moments resonate long after graduation. 🗓️ Mark your calendars for this year's Fall Frolic on September 4th from 4:30-7:00 on Taylor Drive, and read more about how AMO's build community on campus in the current issue of the Bulletin magazine: https://mawr.life/fallfrolic

The remarkable strength of Bryn Mawr's alumnae/i network was once again demonstrated this year by their generosity to the College, as seen in an increase in donors, particularly among new alumni. Additionally, reunion classes welcomed nearly 500 additional donors to support Bryn Mawr in honor of their Reunion, a powerful testament to the enduring strength, generosity, and pride of the Bryn Mawr community. Thank you to everyone who helps us prepare the next generation of Mawrters who will change the world.

Lining the walls of our libraries, carrels offer seniors and graduate students a quiet, dedicated space to focus on their research and easy access to the library collections 📚 The carrels, which students apply to use each year, were largely funded by and dedicated to alums. We interviewed some of our most recent grads about their carrels and the work they do there.

“I really love having a specific space on campus that I can always count on. It helps me build a routine and get in the mindset. And I always like a space I can decorate, and I love having pictures of my friends and family. Some of my best papers were written here.” — Sofia Adriana Diaz ’26

When Claudia Keep ’15 came to Bryn Mawr, she didn’t want to choose between her interests; she wanted to hold onto all of them — from running, to art history, to French, to art. Bryn Mawr didn’t offer a fine arts major, but through the Bi-College Consortium with Haverford College, it didn’t have to. Now a full-time artist based in New York, Keep's work has been shown across the world from Paris to Los Angeles.

"Art school is not the only way forward toward a career or life as an artist,” Keep says. “I am grateful to have had a liberal arts education at Bryn Mawr and Haverford. I didn’t feel the pressure to overly define myself but instead to learn and to work really hard."

“Looking for a referral for a gestational carrier.”

With those words, posted on two Mawrter Facebook groups, Amy Carroccia ’10 sent out an appeal with an account of her and her husband’s nearly seven-year quest to have a baby. The post moved fellow alum Kirsten (Kemp) Huskey ’06, who would go on to become her surrogate.

P.S. In case you were wondering — yes, both the examining psychiatrist for the surrogacy process (Piave Pitisci Lake ’92) and the delivering doctor (Manuel Ferreira, Haverford College '05) were from the Bi-College Consortium.
