| Ileana Streinu, the Charles N. Clark Professor of Computer Science and Mathematics at Smith, began her collaborative research project, “Structure in Motion,” this September after winning a prestigious fellowship from Harvard's Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. She will spend the academic year at Harvard. |
Breanna Parker ’18 recently won an award from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education for a carbon-pricing strategy she helped develop during her senior year. "The opportunity I had at Smith to take complex issues and actually see them implemented within the institution was inspiring,” she says. |
Kelsey Moore ’15, a fourth-year graduate student at MIT, studies early life on Earth. Her focus is on ancient microbes from the Proterozoic, the period of Earth’s history that spans 2.5 billion to 542 million years ago, between the time when oxygen began to appear in the atmosphere up until the advent of complex life.
