Young AlumnaePlease join us in welcoming the more than 200 highly qualified new students who arrived on Saturday, the largest entering class in the last four years! As they decide which classes to take and fill their agendas with meaningful activities and leadership opportunities, think back to your time as a first-year student and what your experience was like adapting to the fast paced college life! What was the greatest learning experience of your first year? Looking back, we understand our experience was shaped by the dedicated support of loyal alumnae, and now we are in their shoes with the opportunity to impact this new class of Sweet Briar women! This year’s Young Alumnae goals are $28,000 from 432 alumnae. In the 2013 fiscal year, Young Alumnae Giving exceeded its dollar goal but not its participation goal. Participation is so important because it affects Sweet Briar's rankings in the US News and World Report,which makes Sweet Briar more appealing to prospective students and maintains the strength of our degree! Plan your best gift and continue the giving legacy created by Sweet Briar alumnae with a gift to Sweet Briar College. Keys to a Successful Plan: This year is about challenging yourself and your class. Leadership, Vision and Young Alumnae go hand-in-hand, and this year it is your turn to take the lead for the students who arrived this week! Holla! Holla!

Young Alumnae Giving Co-Chairs
The Young Alumnae Giving program encompasses classes within the first 10 years of graduation (excluding Reunion classes) and calls on them to build on their connection to the College and one another by giving annually to the Sweet Briar Annual Fund. It is a time-honored tradition. Recent graduates join the exclusive ranks of Sweet Briar Alumnae. They enjoy the benefits of membership to this vast network of those who have gone before them, and they are the connective bridge to future graduates. It is about class unity. It is about women supporting women through philanthropy and volunteering. It is about the Sweet Briar Promise from one alumna to another, to yet another. Young Alumnae's giving makes a difference, and last year they contributed $29,104 to the
Annual Fund.
