55th Reunion and Beyond
Barnard Class of 1962
Continuing our Conversation with President Rosenbury
On September 18, we had a second dialogue via Zoom with President Rosenbury, where she spoke about new policies the college administration has developed, and answered several of our questions. We greatly appreciate the necessarily limited time she gave us. We followed with a letter and further questions from class co-president Roxanne Fischer.
We Respond to Campus Unrest
At an extra Class of 1962 Open House Zoom on May 22, we prepared a letter to President Rosenbury
Dear President Rosenbury,
Welcome to Barnard. You certainly have come at a challenging time.
Members of the Class of 1962 have met on zoom to discuss the current situation on campus. Several spoke about their granddaughters currently at Barnard who had very frightening experiences.
We agreed that action steps are needed, and have come up with a number of ideas that we would like to discuss with you on a zoom call at your convenience.
These ideas have been copied by me from emails as sent.
The full letter from the class is attached here. Members of the Class of 1962 are eager to meet with you on zoom to discuss these ideas and learn your thoughts on these matters. Please let us know what times would work for you. Our zooms have been on Wednesdays at 4:00 PM Eastern time but we will be available at your convenience.
Many thanks for all you do for Barnard. It is our goal to help you.

Barbara Weinberg Scholarship Fund
Our late classmate Barbara Weinberg established the H. Barbara Kallman Weinberg
and Michael B. Weinberg Scholarship Fund at Barnard to provide student
financial aid, as well as student internship support as a secondary preference.
While Barbara created the Weinberg Scholarship with an initial gift, she also
provided for additional support through her estate to establish a permanent,
endowed Weinberg Scholarship. The principal of an endowed fund is
invested; every year, a percentage is awarded as financial aid scholarship to
Barnard students (currently the spend out is 5%). The Building Barnard
scholarship endowment is a top priority of the College.
Alumnae from all classes, as well as friends and family, may give to the
Weinberg Scholarship. Please see two ways to do so below.
To make a gift remembering Barbara, a check payable to Barnard
College may be mailed to Barnard College, Box AS, 3009 Broadway, NY, NY
10027. Please write in the memo line or on a separate note Weinberg
Scholarship Fund. Gifts may also be made online.
Please indicate Weinberg Scholarship Fund.

A Short Guide to barnard62.net
We started this website at the time of our 55th reunion in 2017 to perpetuate memories from that event and to be a way of sharing news about ourselves between reunions. DESKTOP USERS: Above the website title and photo (taken at the Class Dinner) you should see a sequence of short titles of the pages of this site (black text on white). You can click on any title to go to that particular page. At the right of the string of short titles you may see three dots [ ••• ] and a magnifying glass shape. Click on [ ••• ] to see the titles that don’t fit on the line and you will get a drop-down menu with all the remaining titles. Click on the magnifying glass to search for a name or word. MOBILE USERS: If you are viewing the site on a mobile phone, you should see at the upper left of your screen a black box with three parallel white lines. Click on the box to get a drop-down menu of the pages of the website.
CLASS NOTES: Starting with Winter 2020, we will be posting the entire content of Class Notes, including both what appears in the Barnard Magazine and the overflow text and images. Also, see items that have arrived between issues under the heading INTERIM NEWS.
You’ll find all the 55th Reunion materials towards the end and all the new information up front.
