Over the last several years, students may have noticed a difference in the Smith landscape – each November, the tranquil body of water known as Paradise Pond transformed into a barren mudplain. Smith has dredged the pond periodically for decades. But outside of the Landscape and Environmental Studies departments, few members of the Smith community actually know why this happens, or why it is a significant event on the campus.

En septiembre, Smith College se unió a otras 165 instituciones de educación superior en todo el estado de Massachusetts para firmar un informe de Amicus que se opone a la revocación de la administración Trump del programa de Acción Diferida para Llegados en la Infancia, o DACA. Esto se anticipa a la próxima decisión de la corte suprema sobre la legalidad de DACA, que la administración Trump inicialmente rescindió en el septiembre de 2017. Los argumentos sobre el caso comenzaron el martes 12 de noviembre. Esta decisión afectará el futuro de unos 700,000 jóvenes inmigrantes.

If you’re a returning Smith student, you may have noticed some changes in the college’s Residence Life system. As students were informed in an email on August 26, the ResLife department has extensively restructured its staff and hierarchies in order to “better meet the needs of students and the communities they live in.” This notably involves a restructuring of student staff. Previously, traditional houses each had one Head Resident (HR) and one House Community Advisor (HCA). Now each house has two HCAs while HRs are in charge of several houses within each neighborhood. Additionally, the “areas of campus” have been shuffled and transformed into four “neighborhoods,” named for notable Smith features.
