| Nancy Thompson Godfrey ’66, co-editor of Smith’s class of ’66 reunion book, was tasked with calling spouses of deceased classmates to organize memorial essays. Godfrey, a recent widow, made her first call to Lee Lundy. It was a call that changed both their lives. Read the whole story in the New York Times. |
This year’s Magic Grant recipients are working on oral history projects: Tanya Pearson AC ’16 (pictured) is studying women in rock, and Meridith Baier AC ’14 is collecting stories on trafficked women. Magic Grants, endowed by legendary magazine editor Helen Gurley Brown, provide funding for projects by Ada Comstock Scholar alumnae. |
Alicia Bowling '17 (pictured) was among the students to work with activists like Carmen Vazquez on creating content for Smith’s first MOOC, Psychology of Political Activism, which launched in March with nearly 6,000 registered participants. Vazquez donated materials to the Sophia Smith Collection. |

| What Brexit Means for Women |
|
| In a blog post for Ms. Magazine, Emma Watson ’17 explores what the UK's Brexit vote means for women. She writes, "The UK will no longer have access to that EU funding for political gender parity, and in the midst of shifting their policies in the Brexit fallout, it’s impossible to predict where progressive policies on women’s rights will fall." |
