| Smith has been home to Susan Puracchio Etheredge ’77, MEd ’85, since her days as an undergraduate and then as a 21-year faculty member in the education and child study program. In December, she was named dean of the college and vice president for campus life. Now she's leading a comprehensive study of residential life at Smith, in an effort to find out what "home" means to students these days. |
Find out why Sabrina Antoine ’11 left a lucrative career in high finance to work with Year Up Boston, matching urban young adults with companies looking for entry-level talent. “When underserved young adults are provided the opportunity to gain skills…it ensures that [they] will begin successful careers and earn a living wage. Economic justice equals economic prosperity,” she says. |
New Englander Cait Scudder MAT ’12 went from classroom teaching to running a six-figure online coaching business from Bali. She tells Forbes magazine how she created the life she wanted and how she now coaches other women to do the same. “Remember that you have the power to build the career and life you deserve," Scudder says. "You just need to give yourself permission to do so.” |
