At Sweet Briar, the integration and interconnection of students' academic and co-curricular experience is fundamental to our philosophy. The division of Co-Curricular Life works closely and collaboratively with the Dean of the College, with faculty members, and with various College offices to facilitate a positive and innovative student life experience.
