|
|
| Soon after they graduated, 11 members of the class of 1938—all from Dewey House— began exchanging letters, sharing stories about life after Smith. The letters, collected in a leather-bound book, continued for seven years and captured the hopes, dreams—and nifty lingo—of a generation of women.

| Smith was much in the news this week, as President Kathleen McCartney published a Newsweek op-ed on the importance of federal support for aspiring college students, as well as a letter to The New York Times about gender stereotypes. "Consumers should boycott products [that trade] on stereotypes of girls as ballerinas and boys as mathematicians," she wrote in the Times. "The products we buy reflect our values."

Through Smith's Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program, students gain valuable research experience. SURF student Naomi Murata ’19, for example, is working with Assistant Professor of Engineering Sarah Moore on creating better ways to deliver medication in the treatment of certain neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s. |
Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows ’88 was recently appointed bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Indianapolis. She is the first African American woman to lead an Episcopal diocese. In an interview with USA Today, she talks about the challenges confronting her church. “Scriptures tell us that we are meant for community, and so I hear that yearning. That’s why I am hopeful about the future of the church," she says. |
