Smith began its Year on Democracies with a Presidential Colloquium featuring Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi. She opened the annual Colloquium series on Sep 8, answering questions from Smith students and faculty about the condition of the U.S. democracy and her position within it as one of the most politically powerful women in the country. The event was held at John M. Greene Hall, allowing a portion of the Smith community to attend in-person, while others watched the live-stream.

Scattered police officers, campus safety patrollers, and Secret Service agents watched blankly.
On Sunday, May 17, Smith College held its first ever virtual commencement ceremony. Over 3,900 tuned into the program on Facebook Live, which started at noon and lasted just over an hour.
