Who benefits from the Fund for Sarah Lawrence?
The Fund for Sarah Lawrence makes a real and immediate difference in the lives of students and faculty. Here are just a few examples of the extraordinary people the Fund helps:
Students
Jessica Lockard ’08 was just awarded a Watson fellowship. After graduation, she will travel around the globe to explore modernist architecture and planned cities.
Nora Tillmanns ’10 studies theatre and comparative literature, and has a strong opinion on who would win if Ibsen and Chekov got into a fight.
Justin Butler ’10 will spend the summer helping to create “green-collar” jobs for low-income communities, capitalizing on the rising demand for environmentally sustainable products and services. An Udall scholar, he’ll be working with the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights.
In his first two years at Sarah Lawrence, Zachary Donovan ’10 has studied everything from robotics to creative writing to international law, worked multiple campus jobs, and as a campus tour guide, he knows the secret to walking backwards.
