Swarthmore College Campaign: Changing Lives, Changing the World

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Updates

In the interest of the well-being of our entire community, we seek to reduce the number of people on campus while minimizing the impact on the execution of our academic mission. With that in mind, the period of modified College operations and remote learning is extended through the end of the spring semester.

“Our ability to live into our mission is not accidental. It is the result of intentional planning, thoughtful stewardship, and the generosity of our donor community. Will you join the more than 21,000 alumni, parents, and friends who have already supported Swarthmore students through this campaign?”

–President Valerie Smith
