Judith Babbitts Named Dean of Graduate and Professional Studies at Sarah Lawrence College
Aug. 6, 2014: Judith Babbitts has been named the new dean of graduate and professional studies at Sarah Lawrence College. Previously, she served as vice dean for advanced academic programs in the Zanyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and as academic dean of the International Honors Program/World Learning in Boston.
Babbitts, who holds a PhD in American studies from Yale University, a master of arts degree in women's history from Sarah Lawrence College, and a bachelor of arts degree in English from Rutgers University, has extensive experience with curricular development in graduate education and special programs and online learning. Additionally, she has significant experience in international education and has developed and taught courses in Asian, American, and women's history, both in the United States and abroad.
Babbitts follows longtime dean Susan Guma, who is retiring after 30 years of dedicated service to the college.

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.
