Smith Athletics boasts a mission committed to “prioritizing diversity, equity and inclusion” for both student-athletes and staff, but behind the scenes, Smith College Athletic Department is dependent on the unpaid labor of the graduate student assistant coaches.
A couple of years ago, media outlets including The Nation and The Washington Post were referring to the latest wisecrack (a clever or sarcastic remark) about Harvard University: the ivy-league institution had turned into a hedge fund with a university attached to it. Students called upon Harvard to ‘unhedge’ its endowment while others praised its financial planning strategies. An open letter in The Atlantic called it a ‘brand problem’ yet also a ‘literal truth.’ This characterization underscores a broader trend among universities and colleges, the apparent intent to accumulate the largest endowment ever seen. Maybe we should start thinking about how, and what we are getting this money for.

A big plastic box, a clothing rack on wheels, a heap of bags filled with clothes — Smith’s free bins come in many shapes and sizes. As the name suggests, each “bin” is a repository of discarded clothes and objects that are free for students to take. From sweaters to mugs to artwork, the free bins — located in every house — are a great way for students to expand their wardrobes and decorate their rooms without breaking their wallets.
Dès mon arrivée à Smith, j'ai constaté que les laits d’origine végétale étaient largement disponibles. Non seulement ces laits deviennent de plus en plus populaires ici à Northampton, mais selon un rapport de Meticulous Research, le marché des laits végétaux a connu une croissance de plus de 11 % au cours de l'année dernière. L'adoption de ces laits alternatifs est motivée par toute une série de raisons, notamment des considérations de santé, des préférences gustatives et une conscience environnementale. Cette dernière est une motivation importante dans le choix des laits alternatifs, en particulier dans la communauté de Smith, de plus en plus sensibilisée à l'environnement.
A mi llegada a Smith, observé la amplia disponibilidad de leches no lácteas. Estas leches no sólo se están haciendo más populares aquí en Northampton pero, de acuerdo con un informe de Meticulous Research, el mercado de la leche de plantas ha crecido más del 11% solo en el último año. La adopción de estas alternativas a la leche está movida por una serie de motivaciones que incluyen consideraciones de salud, preferencias de sabor y conciencia ambiental. Particularmente entre la comunidad de Smith, cada vez más consciente del medio ambiente, la conciencia ambiental es un incentivo significativo al elegir leches alternativas.
