As we push ahead toward our Spring 2019 start, I want to acknowledge the workthat our Admissions team and faculty are doing day-in and day-out to connect withand bring in a strong class of new Saybrook community members. Our grassrootsoutreach efforts have yielded 117 leads over the course of 15 events in recentweeks, including mission-aligned events such as the Idealist.org grad fairseries and the California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education. Wehave a number of additional events lined up for the Fall and Spring.
