The amazing man who helped us get started and guided our growth and development. Martin Edelston, President Boardroom Inc., Publisher of BottomLine Products Published in the New York Times on 8/10/2004. Hawkins, Priscilla HAWKINS Priscilla. Sarah Lawrence College mourns the death of our beloved Priscilla Hawkins, Secretary of the College and Special Assistant to the President. Priscilla came to Sarah Lawrence on June 1, 1976 to be Director of Administrative Services, responsible for managing human resources. Over her nearly 30-year tenure she stepped in to play a significant role in numerous areas across the College, including admimission, communica tions, fund-raising and financial aid, to name only a few. She was an invaluable source of wise counsel and support to the President and the Board of Trustees. Her remarkable mind was a repository of almost three decades of College history and knowledge, spanning the tenure of three presidents. She was a woman of generosity and grace, of virtue and wit, of humor and compassion. She will be long remembered for her sense of justice and equity, her mastery of critical detail and precise writing, her intuitiveness, her sense of the strategic, her integrity and, above all, her deep understanding of and devotion to the College. Our lives at Sarah Lawrence are diminished by this loss of a great woman who was a friend to us all. We at Sarah Lawrence College extend our sympathy and love to her husband, Ted, also a cherished friend of the College, and to her entire family.
