Despite the great challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic imposes on international traveling, three Smithies have made it to Iceland, where they will spend their spring semester.

No 18 de fevereiro, Smith College homenageou quatro graduadas com medalhas de Smith College; dois membros da faculdade com o prêmio de Ensino (Will Williams, professor-associado de física, e Samuel Ng, professor-assistente de Estudos africanos); e dois funcionários com o prêmio Wyandt Gavel (Whitney Hadley, diretora associada de Assuntos multiculturais, e Carol Kelly, cozinheira assistente do Campus Center).
If you had told me this time last year that I would be rhapsodizing about romance novels I would have laughed in your face. But how could I have predicted what 2020 would bring?

Spring classes are underway and it's time to purchase required course materials. Unfortunately, 65% of college students will have to make do without some of their assigned textbooks. Others will have to drop classes because the cost of required materials is simply too high.
After a turbulent two semesters for student orgs, Smith a cappella groups are coming back in full swing this spring. From the oldest historically women’s a cappella group in the country (The Smiffenpoofs) to Blackapella (for Black diaspora Smithies) to Crapapella (the “alternative” a cappella group), Smith genuinely has an a cappella experience for everybody. For many in the Smith community, a cappella is an irreplaceable source of community, inclusivity and beautiful music on campus, even during a global pandemic.
