President Debora Spar spoke at an HSBC event marking the 100th International Women's Day.
For Newsweek/The Daily Beast, Barnard's President writes about the challenges of "having it all"
On a particularly dreary day at the end of February, I was trying to get word about my younger son... When the phone rang, I leaped, positive that it was the emergency room calling with the final diagnosis. Instead, it was my office, informing me that President Obama wanted to give the commencement address at Barnard. What does one say? “Oh wow,” I mumbled. “Sure. I have to get off the phone now.”
Spar responds to The Atlantic's cover story on trade-offs facing professional women.
Every year, for somewhere between two and four weeks, my 86-year-old Greek father-in-law comes to visit. During that time, my house is full of the steams and smells that only someone born in Europe before the war can truly produce.
In advance of Barnard's Commencement, President Spar notes the significance of President Obama speaking at a women's college.
In protests at the College, students express concerns over both national issues and college policies.
