s weekend, I attended a conference held by Forté called the College Fast Track to Finance Conference.
THE SOPHIAN
The signs as ways they prepare for Thanksgiving break:
The Jandon Center for Community Engagement has received federal grant funding to support the College to collaborate with community members, local organizations and schools in Springfield, Mass. on helping young adults transition to life after high school, including college or employment.
On Mon. Nov. 5, Smith’s International Students Organization and International Students & Scholars Office hosted the 73rd Annual I.S. Day Celebration.
The Nurul Islam Mosque is a mosque that was founded in 1844 in Bo-Kaap, South Africa.
Smith has made many commitments to support sustainability and address climate change, including one to become a carbon neutral campus by 2030. Part of Smith’s goal is to educate women so they can become leaders in improving sustainability and tackling climate change.
On Nov. 13, Ijeoma Oluo — author of “So You Want to Talk About Race” — gave a talk called “The Only Way Out is Through: Solidarity and Accountability” at the Weinstein Auditorium.
There’s a photo of me as a kindergartener dressed in a plaid jumper and tights. In one hand, I’m clutching a sign written in my messy child’s scrawl that says “Augusta,” and in the other hand, a red plush stuffed lobster. The photo is from a class play about the state of Maine. Each student recited a fact about our home state for the assembled audience of our families. In the photo of me from that day, I’m beaming with pride about getting to hold the lobster, one of the most important symbols of our state.
We’re about to enter the twelfth week of the semester, which means that Thanksgiving break is so close we can smell the pumpkin pie. It also means we’ve been in the throes of midterms for a while now, so I thought I’d share my favorite places to disappear to both on and off campus when things get a little overwhelming.
“Are you prepared for the real world?” It’s a question I get asked more often than I want.
