We are excited to welcome the incoming undergraduate class and other new students to campus each fall! Send-Offs are a wonderful opportunity for Bryn Mawr's newest students to come together and meet Mawrters from their area.

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.

If an event is not scheduled in your region we encourage you to attend our Virtual Open Event. 

In addition to regional Send-Off parties where you can meet people in the Bryn Mawr community who live near you, our program has expanded to include some virtual affinity events to meet members of our community with shared experiences. 

This year we are hosting two virtual affinity Send-Offs:

• BIPOC Event: BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. BIPOC students, alumnae/i, and their families are encouraged to attend. This is a space for people who hold these identities only.
• LGBTQIA+ Event: LGBTQIA+ students, their families, and alumnae/i are encouraged to attend. This is a space for people who hold these identities or their parents/guardians only.

For these virtual events, we encourage parents or family to register for the gatherings separately from their students and use separate devices during the event if possible, as we will break into separate student and parent/family breakout rooms during the event. Parents and family are welcome to register for these gatherings even if their student is not able to participate, and vice versa.

In addition to the in-person regional events and the virtual affinity events outlined above, we are also hosting some additional virtual Send-Offs:

• International Event: This event is for our community that lives outside of the United States.
• Virtual Open Event: This event is for anyone who cannot attend one of our in-person regional events for whatever reason. 

For these virtual events, we encourage parents or family to register for the gatherings separately from their students and use separate devices during the event if possible, as we will break into separate student and parent/family breakout rooms during the event. Parents and family are welcome to register for these gatherings even if their student is not able to participate, and vice versa.
