| As an executive vice president at RCA/Sony, Mika El-Baz ’85 is one of the most powerful people in the music industry. She reflects on her 30-year career and the importance of mentoring the next generation of executives: "If you’re investing a lot of time and effort in someone, why not get the benefit of what they’ve learned and how they’ve grown and feed that back into the company?" |
Nicole Bearden AC ’19 launched Critical Bounds, a podcast about contemporary art, as part of a class at Smith.

She says, “I hope that people who explore the podcast will find somebody’s work that they didn’t know about before, and will be able to connect in a new way with art.” |
