The Oldest Bryn Mawr Tradition

Self Governance.

The spirit of self governance permeates through all aspects of the Bryn Mawr experience. It is evident in our academics, social life, dorm life and student life. We look out for one another, but we also hold one another accountable. We have created academic and social rules which we regulate. Mawrters are privileged with incredible freedom, independence and having the trust of the community. In 1892, students established the Self Government Association, the first of its kind in the United States!  And this is a something that I am very proud of. In fact, all Mawrters should be too. We were basically awesome since the very beginning. Freedom, independence, accountability and trust were always important to us.

Self governance is what one of the ways that make Bryn Mawr unique. And I love it.
