| In a New York Times op-ed about U.S. policy in Syria, Steven Heydemann, the Janet Wright Ketcham 1953 Professor of Middle East Studies, writes, “The most effective diplomatic means for the United States to regain leverage in Syria is for Washington to ... recognize a different government as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people.” |
For many students, going gluten free is not just a fad, it’s a serious health issue. Smith College is one of the first colleges in the nation to formally acknowledge celiac disease as a disability and provide a gluten-free dining room and meal options to keep celiac students healthy. "When it opened, there was this moment of relief," said Ashley Rohall ’18. "It was glorious." |
Jordan Crouser ’08, visiting assistant professor of statistical and data sciences, recently participated in a White House Conference on Inclusive STEM Education for Youth of Color, which brought together researchers, educators, policymakers and community leaders from across the nation to discuss ways of increasing access to STEM. |
