Activities

Many campus activities are generated by students and arise out of academic work or personal interests. The Office of Student Activities helps to implement student-sponsored projects and events by providing funding assistance and logistical support. Programs are designed and planned by the Student Programming Board, student organizations including the Student Senate or the director of student activities in collaboration with and at the request of individuals or groups of students. All students are encouraged to suggest activities.

Sarah Lawrence College has quite possibly one of the most interesting arrangements for housing of any college campus. Former private houses, sprawling real-life apartment buildings with actual tenants, cooperative houses, a converted carriage house, traditional suite-style dormitories, contemporary community-focused dorms and even a converted section of the President's house offer students a living situation comparable to their educational experience: unique, to say the least.

People

The Sarah Lawrence community is as unique as the College’s educational philosophy. Our students, faculty, staff and administrators come from diverse backgrounds, bringing with them unique experiences and perspectives as they work toward one common goal: making life at Sarah Lawrence a truly original experience.
