Bryn Mawr College's Community Day Of Learning Focusing On Minds And Bodies

Bryn Mawr College is gearing up for its 2017 Community Day of Learning that will be held Wednesday, March 22 at the school's campus.

The day-long event kicks off at 9:15 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m.

You can head over to the college's website to register for the event.

"The Community Day of Learning creates opportunities for students, faculty, and staff to learn from and teach each other about issues that impact our ability to build community and achieve a sense of belonging, both at Bryn Mawr and in the wider worlds in which we also work and live," the college says of the annual event.

This year's topic for the Community Day of Learning is Minds and Bodies.

"This year’s topic — Minds and Bodies — is intentionally designed to open up abroad framework in which we can explore issues that shape our sense of self, how communities come to define their identities (including the spoken and unspoken assumptions of what it takes to belong), and how each of us come to help define the nature of our communities," the college said.
