Last week, President McCartney sent an email to inform the community that Smith College will suspend its operations in countries affected by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The college will also waive the Spring Break housing fee since some students may not be able travel internationally because of the outbreak.
The outbreak affected four students who planned to study abroad in China this semester, two full year students, and two Spring semester students.

France est souvent décrite tendrement comme un endroit plein des expériences gastronomiques: cassoulet, une cocotte des haricots blancs, les jambes de canard et le porc; poulet basquaise, le poulet tendre aromatisé avec le porc, les tomates et les poivrons; boeuf bourguignon, des morceaux de boeuf cuisinés lentement dans un peu du vin rouge et des légumes; la liste continue. J’ai connu tous ces plats traditionnels de France, donc j’étais un peu nerveuse en commençant mes études à l’étranger à Paris l’été dernier comme végétarienne. Bien-sûr, j’ai compris que je ne mourrais pas de faim, mais par conséquent, est-ce que je raterais l'expérience complète de vivre à Paris? Est-ce que je sentirais exclue d’une partie majeure de la culture?
I have been away from Smith for nine months now. At first, it was hard to watch everything go on without me. I constantly checked my house’s Facebook group, watched my friends’ Instagram stories and tried to keep up with all the little things going on around campus.
For the past month, I have been living and working in Madrid, Spain as an au pair. I live with a family of four in a small city about 30 minutes outside of downtown Madrid and serve as an English tutor and friend for the two 11- and 12-year-old girls.
What does it feel like to be alive?
