| This month, participate in All 4 One, The Smith Fund's effort to increase alumnae giving by 4 percentage points. All 4 One is not about dollars and cents. It’s about coming together to become one of the most engaged groups of alumnae donors in the world. Why should you give? Because there’s power in numbers, and the alumnae giving participation rate directly affects Smith’s national rankings. |
Keya Koul ’96 is a strong advocate for diversity and inclusion as an integral part of job recruiting. At the 2018 Smith College Women of Color Conference: Persistence, Possibilities & the Power of Our Voices, being held on campus April 13–15, Koul will lead the workshop “Diversity and Recruiting in the Corporate World.” Here she shares her thoughts on the status of workplace inclusivity today. |
Global Impressions, a journal by Smith students "in and for the world," features nonfiction, reflective essays on a variety of travel experiences and encounters. In the latest issue, students write about their memories of a time, place, or a particular event as evoked by a photograph they took. Every image displayed in this issue tells a story, not always an obvious one but certainly one that is true. |

| Were You Changed by ‘A Wrinkle in Time’? |
|
| Did Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time give you a role model for how strong and brave a young girl could be? Did it change your thoughts about literature or science fiction or how sophisticated a book for young readers could be? As part of a tribute to L’Engle (Madeleine Camp Franklin ’41), who would be 100 years old this year, the Smith Alumnae Quarterly will look at how her signature novel has influenced generations of readers, writers and teachers. Send responses of 150 words or less to saq@smith.edu by April 1.
