| In 2015, Smith welcomed its first Posse STEM Initiative class—11 students from New York City selected for their leadership potential and desire to become STEM majors. They supported one another throughout their four years. “Posse is here to stay,” said Audrey Smith, vice president for enrollment. “This has been a very successful partnership." |
All entering Smith students will be reading How Culture Shapes the Climate Change Debate by social scientist Andrew J. Hoffman, as this year’s Smith Reads book selection. The selection aligns with the college’s Year on Climate Change initiative. Hoffman is the Holcim (US) Professor of Sustainable Enterprise at the University of Michigan. |
Neilson Library is where ideas take flight. That is why it is critical Neilson keep up with the needs and expectations of students and scholars today and in the future. As the college continues the major renovation of Neilson, The Smith Fund is asking the entire community to support the library's future by participating in The Heart of Smith fundraising campaign. |
