We’ve loved watching the Class of 2026’s key, scroll, and ring games throughout the year! In just over a week, these remarkable women leaders will celebrate commencement and begin the next exciting chapter of their journeys. 💚

We were honored to welcome alumna Katie Hoffner ’84 back to campus on March 26 for an inspiring talk: Visualizing the Sacred Feminine: The Power of Image, Collective Memory, & Women’s Stories.

Watch the full talk here: https://www.sbc.edu/125th-anniversary/livestreams-photos-and-recordings-archive/

Pictured with Katie are fellow members of the Class of 1984 (left to right): Cathy Cash Mays, Katie, Tricia Dolph Fallon, and Virginia Lynch Kiseljack, who came out to support and hear her talk, a wonderful show of connection and class spirit.

This past weekend, we were so grateful to welcome an incredible group of Sweet Work Weekend volunteers (not all pictured) who gave their time and energy to care for Daisy’s Garden, organize Daisy’s Closet and more! Their hard work made a meaningful difference—refreshing spaces that support our students and community in tangible ways.

During National Volunteer Week, it feels especially fitting to pause and recognize the many volunteers who show up for Sweet Briar in big and small ways. Whether you’re tending the land, supporting students, or working behind the scenes, you are an essential part of what makes this place so special.

Thank you for your time, your care, and your continued commitment to Sweet Briar. 💚
