| Drive-in restaurant chain Sonic Corp. recently announced the promotion of its former chief financial officer, Claudia San Pedro ’91, to the role of president. A 12-year veteran of the Oklahoma City company, San Pedro hopes to drive Sonic's growth in the coming years with the integration of new technology and an "order ahead" mobile app. |
A study session on April 14 at the Smith College Museum of Art brought experts together with students and faculty to examine three versions of The Three Crosses, a rare Rembrandt print donated to the museum last year by Mary Gordon Roberts ’60. The Rembrandt study session was followed by a public viewing of the prints. |
Professor of Government Velma García ’79 grew up in Texas and has lived in Mexico. She has extensively studied how the border wall in the U.S. Southwest, built in 2008, has violated the rights of Hispanic and Native American landowners in Texas and Arizona and has damaged the environment.
