At a moment of extraordinary geopolitical conflict and unfathomable humanitarian crises, there has never been a greater need for an informed citizenry. Sarah Lawrence College's mission is to prepare our students to thrive in, and solve the problems of, a complex and rapidly evolving world. Thus we provide the space and support for our students to process, understand, and work through deeply held differences, to convene and elevate voices that need to be heard, and to do so with empathy, in-depth understanding, and critical thinking.

Activation Plan
Below is an overview of some campus activities:
- Since President Judd’s arrival at the college, Sarah Lawrence College has hosted an institution-wide annual series of programs and events on themes broadly under the inaugural “Democracy and Education” series. Themes have included: “Difference in Dialogue,” “E pluribus unum,” “Justice,” “Belonging,” “History Matters,” and “Being Human.”
- The College is in the midst of renovating a beloved and historic campus building to become the HUB, a center for Humanity, Understanding, and Belonging, which will provide homes for various affinity groups and intimate spaces for engagement on difficult issues. The HUB will open in Fall 2024.
- To prepare for the 2024 election, Sarah Lawrence College is actively working with the student organization Democracy Matters to establish a polling place on campus.
