| Los Angeles-based writer and comedy performer Monica Palacios has been recognized as an LGBTQ Latinx trailblazer. As the new Lakes Writer-in-Residence at Smith, Palacios will teach the course Comedy y Cultura, Your Humorous Life and will give a performance on campus this semester. The Spanish and Portuguese department is hosting Palacios during her residency. |
A recent piece in New York magazine argues that U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin ’84 may be the Democrats' best chance to win the 2020 presidential election. She’s a proven progressive who would also give America the opportunity to elect its first female and its first openly gay president, simultaneously. But there’s one problem: she’s not running, not yet anyway.

| Announcing the ‘Together for Smith’ Giving Challenge in February |
|
| Show your support for Smith! Throughout the month of February, The Smith Fund is asking members of the Smith community to stand up and be counted. If the Fund can secure 2,019 gifts—of any amount—by Feb. 28, the Smith College Board of Trustees will donate a collective gift of $325,000 for scholarship aid. This challenge is about getting as many participants as possible; it’s about donors, not dollars. |
