Send-Off Parties
Send-Off Parties welcome incoming families from the Class of 2029 to the Bryn Mawr College community and connect them with current students, alumnae/i, parents, 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.
Register below for the Send-Off Party (or Parties) you'd like to attend.
New Send-Off Parties are still being announced! Check back here to see if there will be one in your area.
Also, please save the date for the 3rd annual Owls Fest on Friday, October 3 to Saturday, October 4, 2025! Owls Fest is a weekend celebration that combines the traditions of Homecoming, Volunteer Summit, and Family & Friends Weekend.
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.

2025 In-Person Send-Off Parties
These informal gatherings take place across the country and are designed to ease the anxiety of leaving home, foster a sense of community amongst alumnae/i and current students, and celebrate being part of Bryn Mawr. It is also a time for parents and family members to build their own support systems as families embark on this journey together.
