| Virginia Hayssen, professor of biological sciences, begins each chapter of her forthcoming book, Mammalian Reproduction: A Female Perspective, with a story about the spotted hyena, whose unique physiology prompts a closer look at what we think we know about reproduction. |
In a new Women in Public Service video, foreign policy strategist and former diplomat Farah Pandith ’90 says that the most influential people in her life have been her professors, including those at Smith. |
Susan Sorrells ’68, who owns the small town of Shoshone, CA, uses ecotourism to protect its rugged beauty and keep its economy running. Her Shoshone Village corporation employs 22 people, including a staff naturalist, who have created hiking and birding trails that make the area a popular destination. |
