Class Zoom call planned for August 25
Our class officers have organized a class Zoom call, and would love for as many of us as possible to join in! Check our class Facebook feed for the Zoom link. There’s no set agenda for this call—it’s simply an opportunity to catch up, share updates about our lives, and enjoy our beverage of choice together. Whether you’ve got exciting news to share or just want to listen and reconnect, your presence will be greatly valued.

Sunday, August 25
1pm PT / 2pm MT / 3pm CT / 4pm ET / 9pm UK / 10pm EU

Remembering Mary Lea Kervin
We were heart-broken to learn that our classmate Mary Lea Kervin has passed away. Here is her obituary.

Thank you for joining us at our 40th Reunion!
We are grateful to our reunion chairs Kate West Walles and Marie DeCrescenzo Wehrung, and all the other volunteers who helped put on such a fun and memorable event!

Looking forward to our 45th reunion!
Dates TBD: May, 2028

Smith Alumnae Quarterly
All of us love hearing from our classmates. You can now submit your class notes directly to our class secretary using the new online Submit a SAQ Class Note form. Tell us what you’re up to. Send a picture of a virtual Friday Tea in the Cloud. Share family news and career milestones.

Smith highly recommends 2 new apps for reunions and networking:
Download before you arrive two new smart phone apps, the “Smith College Reunion” app and “Smith College Network” app. These are free at the Apple Store and Google Play Store. The Reunion app has the full reunion and class-specific schedule, with which you can create a personal calendar including details and campus maps. The Network app is replacing the college’s Alumnae Directory going forward.
