 Lost Debauched Traditions of SLC: Where Did They Go?
 Lost Debauched Traditions of SLC: Where Did They Go?

Sarah Lawrence College (SLC) students know that parties are few and far between here. What many may not know is that we used to have a rich culture of on-campus drinking and partying. Beer used to be served at an on campus pub, and there was a night where being a drunk lesbian was specifically encouraged. It sounds like a fantasy, a Sarah Lawrence of endless possibilities. How did we lose these sacred traditions?

The COVID-19 pandemic hit the world hard and classrooms even harder. In the height of panic, teachers and school administration worked with what they had for the students' best interest. Proms were canceled and elementary schoolers learned multiplication on Zoom. Pivots were made to try and compensate for the shocks and concerns people were riddled with. Coming up on five years since the pandemic, we are starting to see the lasting effects in the classroom.

On Saturday, October 4, the Sarah Lawrence Activities Council (SLAC) hosted their annual Fall Festival, a charming celebration of the approaching season. In addition to pumpkin painting and lawn games, the club organized a caramel-apple making station, an array of seasonal refreshments including apple cider and hot chocolate and an ambient setting complete with music and decorations. The festival was held on Westlands’ North Lawn and was well attended by the student body. 

A Students’ Guide to Employment on Campus

Studying at Sarah Lawrence can feel like a daunting task– with conference papers piling up, the 100-page readings and presentations you haven’t started. That some students voluntarily chose to take on a part-time job both on and off campus in addition to all that work may sound almost psychotic. The Phoenix spoke to some of the students who hold jobs on campus. What we found is many students  who said their jobs actually enhanced their academic experience.
