Two new residence halls were added to campus and now house firstyear students. The buildings have been named for the late Dr. Sherri Rumer
Cooper, a beloved former professor and namesake of a research fund at the
College, and the Rev. Daniel W. Goodenough, a much-admired former
College administrator and professor of Religion.
Bryn Athyn College is excited to break ground on a new turf field in
October. Lights will be installed to augment the scheduling possibilities and
allow for evening games and practices. The turf field will not only benefit the
athletic department but also the College community –including the Physical
Education Department, intramurals and club sports. Construction is expected
to be completed by November and the field will be ready in time for the men’s
and women’s lacrosse preseason.
The Alumni Office will continue to offer a number of alumni events and
communications, including the Alumni Magazine. The Chapel-and-Chat
series will continue to invite alumni to attend a College chapel service and stay
for conversation with fellow alumni and College staff.
A Distinguished Speaker Series will begin this year, bringing outstanding
alumni and friends of the College to speak to students and alumni on
pertinent topics. Town Hall Meetings with the College President and Deans
will invite the community to stay updated and involved, with opportunities for
questions. Much of this outreach and community building will be available in
a livestream format for those who cannot attend events in person.
Another improvement at the College is a beautiful new website that not
only looks different, but offers better functionality on mobile devices. Take a
look at www.brynathyn.edu. The increased traffic on the website is exciting,
and as more news unfolds, many of these stories can be found in the news
section there.
