A new scholarship fund will honor Marianne Ejier Olds ’47, who came to Smith as part of the college’s refugee admission program. “Smith,” says her daughter, Jacqueline Olds, “changed the course of my mother’s life. She always believed that the education she received there gave her the confidence to do whatever she wanted in life.” |
Even as first-years, Smith students can be involved in research projects in all disciplines, from the sciences to the humanities and the arts. At Smith, student research is a way of exploring what it means to be a scholar. Students have myriad opportunities to assist faculty with research endeavors or initiate their own projects. |

| 2017 Smith Reads Book Selection |
|
| In helping to choose a book for this year’s Smith Reads program, Tanimola Somolu ’20 said she was hoping to find “one that would be most relevant to the times.” After much discussion, Somolu—one of three students on the book selection committee—said the group chose a novel that met that goal: Cristina Henríquez’s The Book of Unknown Americans. The book will be read by the incoming first-year class over the summer, with an author's talk and faculty-led discussions in the fall. |
