The Humanities are often described as being “in crisis,” either dismissed as outdated and irrelevant, or accused of being dangerously influential, promoting so-called “subversive” ideas. Come and join faculty from across the Humanities: Danielle Dorvil (Spanish), Matthew Ellis (History), Sarah Hamill (Art History), and Joel Swanson (Religion), moderated by Jerri Dodds (Art History) as they reflect on the stakes of this moment. Why do the Humanities matter now? And what power might they hold in shaping the world to come?

Join us for a special reception hosted by the Parents Council, Sarah Lawrence’s family philanthropy group. Connect and network with fellow parents and family members over beverages and hors d’oeuvres while learning about the Parents Council. Wine and beer will be served. This event is open to SLC parents and family members who are 21 years of age or older.

Directed by Gianna Morin ’26, The Skriker is a dark, surreal tale of myth and modernity, blending folklore and reality. Following a shape-shifting faerie’s pursuit of two vulnerable young women, the play explores madness, desire, and devastation with lyrical, fragmented language and haunting imagery. It’s a fierce, unsettling journey through love and destruction.

REGISTER HERE. 

Join the Sarah Lawrence Activities Council for a fun-filled night of games and prizes. All campus and student guests are welcome to attend.

Music Third Voice Students present a dynamic recital showcasing art songs in Italian, French, and German, alongside selections from Musical Theater, Jazz standards, popular favorites, and original student compositions. Come enjoy an evening of music and see what our voice students have been working on this semester!

In the classic lyric moment, seeing + contemplation=insight, and perhaps even some form of truth. In difficult times, however, this formulation can be elusive, and call into question the role of poetry itself. When poetry and poem-making itself can’t reassure or ground us, how do we sustain our calling to write? How do we keep faith?
