就像大多数小型文理学院一样，史密斯学院承诺给予本科学生卓越的教学体验。教授们不会因为自己的研究项目而突然消失，随即把大部分的学生参与度留给助教承担；相反，他们会主动创造教学环境。这种参与程度对教职工的要求很高，即使是那些即将或者已经被授予终身教职资格的教师也会面临这样的问题。教学是一项艰苦、耗时的工作，正如学术界同时对他们抱有不断发表文章的期望。考虑到这些要求，我们很难想象一个访问教授如何能在短暂的逗留期间提供宝贵的的课堂经历。

I was accepted by Smith College with a caveat — I would have to matriculate in January. Initially, I was too excited about my acceptance to read beyond “Congratulations!” It was only when I examined the letter more carefully that I noticed the minor hitch.
Smith, like most small liberal arts colleges, promises a superior commitment to teaching undergraduate students. Professors don’t disappear to work on their research and leave the bulk of student engagement to teaching assistants; rather, they create the classroom environment. That level of engagement is a high demand for faculty, even those who are tenure-track or tenured.

“I think we can expect that people will be pretty upset tomorrow,” Phoebe Collins '22 announced to the eight Smith students packed into her postage stamp-sized dorm. I felt the excitement in the room bouncing off the walls—a kind of childlike giddiness that can only come from doing something that you know will earn you a scolding.

起初，我很容易就放弃了正常生活，以期能遏制蔓延全国的病例激增。几个星期过去了——然后是几个月。现在，距离收到那封通知学生回家的电子邮件已经过去差不多整整两年，我也累了。有的时候我觉得，尽管尽了最大努力，我对疫情前生活的记忆仍在持续消退，每个人都在问:“这就是新常态吗?” 可不一定就是。
