1976 Reunion Page

Have you seen our Scarf?

Created to honor the Bryn Mawr Class of 1976, this original silk scarf is a both a work of craftsmanship and a visual narrative.  Each lantern - adorned with the college's beloved owl - has been carefully illustrated and arranged to reflect the arc of a lifetime.  At either end, the lanterns stand in quiet order, symbolizing the confidence and promise with which we begin our journeys.  Toward the center, they drift into gentle disarray, echoing the complexity, challenge, and unexpected turns that shape our lives.  Yet, as the pattern resolves once more, it reminds us that Bryn Mawr women land on their feet - resilient, illuminated, and enduring.

The scarf's subtle background draws inspirations from the historic ceiling of the old college library, lending depth and a sense of shared heritage.  Soft washes of navy and Lantern's Glow pay trubute to Bryn Mawr's colors, understated yet unmistakable.

Designed with intention and woven with meaning, this scarf celebrates not only where you began, but the strength and wisdom gathered along the way.

Created for the 50th Reunion Celebration of the Class of 1976 by Hilarie Johnston and Seth Dubrosky.

Fabric: 100% silk

We are pleased to invite you to join us for another Class of 1976 Zoom Happy Hour on February 24, 2026, at 7:30 pm EST.  We look forward to seeing you on that virtual platform and we hope to see you all in person at Bryn Mawr, May 29-31, 2026 for our 50th Reunion.

When we began our Zoom events, we asked people to think back to the spring of 1972 when we were waiting to receive our college acceptance letters and share your memories of that time. These calls have evolved into conversations and reconnections that are the subjects of reflection and many smiles. The spring of 1976 was one where we were looking ahead to a world outside the collegiate gothic walls of Bryn Mawr. The country was celebrating a birthday, and we were leaving our own nest. The spring of 2026 is the approach to another national milestone and our opportunity to return to that nest for a little while.

Please join us in community on February 24 at 7:30 pm EST. The link to join is: https://brynmawredu.zoom.us/j/6099044791?pwd=aDRmL2cyQlVZb1E0Q3dqeFV1bFZrdz09. Please feel free to share this invitation with others who might not be on the mailing list of the Alumnae Association.

We hope to see you in February (and in May).
Marilyn Singer and Pat DeFusco
