| Gina Ko ’99 has recreated Smith’s traditional Friday afternoon teas with the Facebook group Friday Teas in the Cloud: Where Smithies Sip and Shine. Since launching the private group nearly a year ago, more than 11,000 alumnae from around the world have joined, making it just one more example of the bond that exists among Smithies. |
Smith’s class of 2021 will be chosen from a record number of applicants, says Audrey Smith, vice president for enrollment. This year, Smith received 5,432 applications, a 3-percent increase over last year. Smith cites the strength of the college's educational and co-curricular programs as one reason for the record-breaking number. |
Crowns, caps and construction helmets are just some of the creative headwear that Smithies will sport during the march to John M. Greene Hall for Rally Day. Seniors can compete in the second annual Rally Day Hat Contest by arriving at the Campus Center with hats between 12:45 p.m. and 1:15 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 23, before the Rally Day ceremony. |
