The Light have great concern that the College is deviating from these common moral values that have helped make Swarthmore into the great institution we have all come to know and love. The Light is as diverse as the college itself. Our members include current students, parents, alumni, former Board Members, former ARC members, and current and former faculty at Swarthmore and other institutions. Mind the Light includes both athletes and non-athletes from every decade since 1940. If you would like to be a member of Mind The Light, please click here .
Sports is life with the volume turned up.
The friendships are fused more tightly than in other places. The laughter is louder, the jokes funnier, the nights later, the lows lower. Athletics teach us that life, though unpredictable, is something we can deal with. A good team nods when it wins and shrugs when it loses and wakes up to a new and different game each day.
