In Connecticut on August 9, alumnae and current students introduced new students to their vibrant community at a First-year Sendoff Soirée. In addition to talking about the practical matters of college life and calming the anxieties of new first-years, attendees enjoyed a game of Barnard trivia. One of the questions: Which famous alumna launched her business in her former Westport, Conn., home?
