Send-Off Parties

Send-Off Parties welcome incoming families from the Class of 2030 to the Bryn Mawr College community and connect them with current students, alumnae/i, families, and staff. They provide an opportunity for incoming students and families to ask questions and learn more about what they can expect at Bryn Mawr. Please check the website regularly, as additional parties are being added.

If there is not an event scheduled in your region and you would like to connect with local alumnae/i, please email sendoffs@brynmawr.edu with your location and contact information.

Questions? Email sendoffs@brynmawr.edu or phone 610-526-5233.

2026 In-Person Send-Off Parties

These informal gatherings took place across the country and are designed to foster a sense of community amongst alumnae/i and current students, and celebrate being part of Bryn Mawr. It was also a time for parents and family members to build their own support systems as families embark on this journey together.

2026 Virtual Events

This year's virtual events included one international event and one event open to all Class of 2030 students and their families who were not able to attend an in-person event.

For virtual events, we recommend that students and family members use separate devices if possible, as they will be placed in different breakout rooms for a portion of the event.
