Sweet Briar College is a private women's liberal arts college in Sweet Briar, Amherst County, Virginia.
It was established in 1901 by Indiana Fletcher Williams in memory of her deceased daughter, Daisy.[1] The college formally opened its doors in 1906 and granted the B.A. degree for the first time in 1910. It nearly closed in 2015 but was saved by donations and legal actions by alumnae.
