You and a guest will share a meal and conversation with Barnard's new President and leader, Debora Spar, who will also take you on a personal guided tour of the College.

Debora Spar became the 11th President of Barnard College, effective July 1, 2008. In announcing Spar’s appointment at a meeting of the College’s faculty, Anna Quindlen ’74, Chair of the Barnard Board of Trustees, said, “When I announced this search I told all of you, ‘The 11th leader of the College must be someone with considerable gifts of both mind and heart, a charismatic intellectual deeply committed to the value of single-sex education for women.’ I have no doubt that we have found just such a person in Debora Spar.”
