        COMMENDING  Sarah  Lawrence College of Bronxville,
        New York, upon the   occasion of the  Grand  Opening
        and  Dedication of its Barbara Walters Campus Center
        in the Fall of 2019

  WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize  and
commend  those  exemplary  institutions  of  higher education within the
State of New York for  their  enduring  commitment  to  the  pursuit  of
academic excellence; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
commend  Sarah  Lawrence  College  of  Bronxville,  New  York,  upon the
occasion of the Grand Opening and  Dedication  of  its  Barbara  Walters
Campus Center in the Fall of 2019; and

  WHEREAS,  As  the first new building on the College's 45-acre campus
in more than a decade, the 32,000 square  foot  Barbara  Walters  Campus
Center  will  serve  as  a magnet for intellectual, cultural, and social
life; and

  WHEREAS, Ideally located at the midpoint of the campus, the  Barbara
Walters  Campus  Center  will  feature  adaptable  social  and  academic
gathering spaces, a venue suitable for both public  and  campus  events,
lounges, dining facilities, and a flexible space exclusively for the use
of student clubs, activities, and collaborative work; and

  WHEREAS,  With its thoughtfully planned design, the building will be
a symbol and celebration of the importance  of  place  and  the  natural
landscape   with   a   focus   on   sustainability   and   environmental
responsibility; and

  WHEREAS, Serving as a "front door" to the College, the  Center  will
proudly  welcome its neighbors from the local community to share various
cultural experiences; and

  WHEREAS, It is  the  sense  of  this  Legislative  Body  that  those
colleges  and  universities which enhance the well-being and vitality of
their community and have  shown  a  long  and  sustained  commitment  to
excellence certainly have earned the recognition and applause of all the
citizens of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend Sarah  Lawrence  College  of  Bronxville,  New  York,  upon  the
occasion  of  the  Grand  Opening  and Dedication of its Barbara Walters
Campus Center in the Fall of 2019; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Sarah Lawrence College.
