Daphne Fodor Philipson retired from E. M. Warburg Pincus & Co.
in 1999 as a managing director and began her volunteer work with Barnard as a BAAR, interviewing prospective students and attending high school college fairs. She has served on the Fellowship Committee that awards stipends to alumnae who wish to pursue projects after graduation and helped to kick start Project
Continuum. She was her class fundraising chair for many years and chaired the Annual Giving Committee for two terms and has served on the Board of the Alumnae Association, of which she also served as Treasurer. Six years ago she became a founding member of the Athena Center Leadership Council with which she is still active. Being involved with Barnard's amazing alumnae has given her the honor of making Barnard friendships across class lines. Whether it is with those who graduated ahead of her, or after, she is honored to have worked with so many outstanding women to advance the college's goals.
