ARD - Connecting - Send-Off Parties

Send-Off Parties

Send-Off Parties welcome incoming families from the Class of 2029 to the ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳ 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 ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳.

Register below for the Send-Off Party (or Parties) you'd like to attend.

New Send-Off Parties were recently added in Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, and the Twin Cities - see dates and details below!

Also, please save the date for the 3rd annual Owls Fest on Friday, October 3 to Saturday, October 4, 2025!  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 ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳.
