| Attorney Bryan Stevenson, executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative and MacArthur award recipient for his work fighting the death penalty, will deliver a talk titled “Just Mercy: The Movement for Justice and Redemption” at 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 31, in John M. Greene Hall at Smith College. The event is part of Smith’s Presidential Colloquium series and is open to the public, but free tickets are required. |
Erin Park Cohn ’00, the director of Smith’s Wurtele Center for Leadership since July 2019, has overseen a strategic planning process inspired by principles of human-centered design and aimed at engaging the Smith community. The goal was to reshape the center’s mission, programs and partnerships, which has resulted in some exciting new initiatives and programs for students. |
After spending 20 years in human resources, Helen Krug von Nidda ’90 founded Rise Collective, a New York City–based boutique coaching and training business, because she felt women needed better support, tools and strategies for navigating different stages in their lives. Krug von Nidda will join other notable alumnae and faculty as a speaker at Power Up: A Summit for Smith Women in Business. |
