| In a column for the Daily Hampshire Gazette, Carrie Baker, professor of the study of women and gender, discusses what she has witnessed in Smith students’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic. She writes, “I was so impressed by my students’ resilience, resourcefulness and thoughtfulness in the face of this pandemic and the uncertainty that it presents.” |
Nancy Jung ’20 discusses how scholarships provide students with access to opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach. The college's Here for Every Voice fundraising initiative seeks to ensure access to education for talented and ambitious students like Jung. The goal is $75 million in new scholarship funds. Now, more than ever, Smith students need our support. |
Oliver Haug ’20 looks back on four years at Smith and reflects on how the recent pandemic has only strengthened the student community, noting, “This is the Smith I love—not the traditions, not the pomp and circumstance, not the puritanical all-white Ivy Day or the school song in Latin. It’s the care we show for each other in times of great distress.” |

As modes of teaching move online for the rest of the spring semester, Smith has adopted a satisfactory/unsatisfactory grading system, a shift that Inside Higher Education notes "reaffirms the foundational principles of a liberal arts education, even when conducted at a distance: it should prepare you for whatever challenges might lie ahead outside of college." |
