Alumnae gathered to celebrate Giving Day around the country, with special happy hours taking place in Boston, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, and Washington, DC.
“The College is grateful to everyone who made a gift on Giving Day,” says Amy Leveen, Director of Annual Giving. “The Barnard community came together, helping us earn generous challenge grants and making sure that donations support students and faculty. Giving Day is a special time, but of course it is not the only time to make a gift to Barnard. Gifts are welcomed every day!”
