Gear up for Julia Child Day, Smithies! This year marks the 20th anniversary of this cherished Smith tradition. We look forward to celebrating The French Chef with some of her delicious recipes at our dining halls on November 21.
“Being a Smithie means ohana, a [Hawaiian] term I borrowed from the animated film Lilo & Stitch that signifies family. At Smith, ohana represents a sense of unity, where we're all driven by the shared belief that we succeed together.”
Vice President for Enrollment, Office of Admission
“Who you are and what you bring to our campus is really important. We’re an institution founded on a mission of access and diversity for women who weren’t allowed to attend elite institutions of higher education. That’s still the heart of who we are at Smith.”
Assistant Professor of English Language & Literature and of the Study of Women, Gender, & Sexuality
“The mission of my classroom is first and foremost one of collaboration and interdependency. On the first day of my classes, we speak with intention about the kind of discussion space we want to build together, and we brainstorm strategies about how we can get there.”
“Community at Smith means having the ability to understand and respect the differences that exist amongst us, yet still treat others like family and make them feel welcome.”
