1 REUNION 2015 May 29 to 31

2 Dear Alumnae/i and Friends, One of the great pleasures of my work as Bryn Mawr s President is meeting alumnae/i. I have spent much of this past year traveling the country and abroad to speak with you about Bryn Mawr s deep commitment to academic excellence, focus on research and scholarship, and responsibility to prepare students for work and life. Your warmth and excitement have been overwhelming and I am consistently inspired by your dedication to each other and the College. That is why I look forward to welcoming you to Reunion From the time the big tent goes up on Merion Green through the Alumnae Association s Annual Meeting on Sunday morning, the campus becomes electric with your energy laughing as you reconnect with fellow Mawrters, visiting your favorite haunts on our beautiful campus, singing loud at Step Sing, and engaging with faculty and alumnae/i speakers. Each year, it is a pleasure to watch you revisit everything that makes Bryn Mawr great. Reunion is our time to celebrate alumnae/i as an integral and vibrant part of the Bryn Mawr community. It is my sincere hope that you will join us in that celebration. Warmly, KIM CASSIDY
