April 2, 2025: The latest event in Sarah Lawrence College's Polarization: Impacts + Solutions series, the 2025 Adda Bozeman Lecture will feature Ambassador Brooke Anderson '86 in conversation with history faculty member Philipp Nielsen on Wednesday, April 2, at 7 p.m. Attendees are invited to attend in person on campus or online via Zoom

The current moment in global affairs above all seems to be one of challenges and uncertainty, compounded by the U.S. administration’s radical repositioning on development aid, diversity, global conflicts, and climate change. Drawing on her experience as a former diplomat at the United Nations and as a key member of the team that negotiated the Iran nuclear agreement, Ambassador Brooke Anderson ’86 will provide perspective on the effects of the new U.S. policies on global priorities and challenges and where there might be opportunities to engage in new ways.

Brooke D. Anderson is an experienced leader and an accomplished diplomat, negotiator, and strategist. In her various roles, she has navigated high-stakes challenges, carried out sensitive diplomatic missions, and achieved results on the most complex global and national issues. Brooke is currently President of Pivotal Ventures, an investment and incubation company founded by Melinda French Gates dedicated to advancing social progress and expanding women’s power and influence in the United States and around the world.

This event is free and open to the public. Guests are invited to join the Sarah Lawrence College community on campus or join via Zoom.

Bronxville Public Library

Bronxville Public Library

The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.

The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.

The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children.  All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
