| Read Kathryn Stuart ’08's profiles of alumnae at the top of their game in media, business, marketing and finance. Among the alumnae featured is Sara Haines ’00, co-host of The View and a correspondent for ABC News, who says, “The four years spent at Smith are only the beginning. What the school does for you the moment you leave is a real value investment.” |
Thelma Golden ’87, director and chief curator of the Studio Museum in Harlem, has long been envied for her ability to build a racially diverse audience, staff, and board. This recent New York Times profile of Golden spotlights her visionary leadership, including spearheading the museum’s first major expansion. |

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. |
