Sweet Briar Closing after 114 years

Sweet Briar College – a small liberal arts college for young ladies located in rural Virginia, is closing this coming August.

They had a number of challenges – a small endowment, declining enrollment, and increasing costs associated with filling their classes.

This wasn’t unexpected – the college’s leadership had been wrestling with financial challenges for a period of time.  However, it still is a shock to their students and all their alumnae.  They had a recognizable name and a history spanning over 100 years – but those won’t keep the doors open.

“What does this have to do with the ‘Bash?” you loyal 10 might ask?  Nothing…I hope.  But we all need to be aware that we can’t sit by on the sidelines and settle for status quo when it comes to our college.  If we aren’t growing and getting stronger, we’re going in the other direction.

The Grunge prefers the former and hope you’re onboard.
