| Recently, nearly 200 Black alumnae/i from Smith and Amherst colleges came together in Washington, D.C. for the first ever Smith and Amherst College Black Alumnae/i Mini Reunion. Organized by Linda Smith Charles ’74 and Richard Ammons (Amherst ’74), the event was designed to connect and celebrate the community of Black alumnae/i from the Pioneer Valley. |
Enjoy a video of Otelia Cromwell Day, held Nov. 1 on campus. With the theme “Healing and Resistance Through Community," the celebratory event featured student readings, musical performances by Blackapella, and a keynote address by scholar and activist D-L Stewart from Colorado State University. Afternoon workshops followed. |
Carol Hillman '49, owner of New Salem Preserves in New Salem, Massachusetts, says the key to making great apple cider starts with great apple trees. There are 21 different varieties of apples in Hillman’s orchard. “Cider is a combination of apples,” says Hillman. “The depth of taste comes from apples. Each farm has its own formula, which is an important factor.” |
