Academic Excellence & Faculty Support
We are investing in the intellectual heart of the College. By moving to a reduced two-class teaching load each semester, we empower our faculty to lead in research and mentorship. We will also reimagine the "Library of the Future" as a beacon of digital and physical inquiry.
Holistic Student & Alumnae Success
From matriculation to commencement, we are streamlining the student journey. We are aligning our curriculum with the aspirations of the future, ensuring every student has the tools to thrive in a complex world.
Access, Inclusion, & Belonging
We are dismantling barriers. Our move toward need-blind admissions and the creation of truly equitable institutional structures ensure that potential and talent, not circumstance, dictate each student’s path.
Global Impact & Visibility
Bryn Mawr will amplify our voice on local, national and global stages and better celebrate the scholarship and leadership of our community.
Sustainable Infrastructure
We have set a goal of carbon neutrality by 2035. Every brick laid and every system modernized will reflect our commitment to environmental justice and a world-class residential experience.
