With a strong national reputation, Smith remains at the forefront of higher education. The College’s creation of an Admission Strategic Plan further strengthens Smith’s commitment to attracting a diverse student body filled with the best and brightest students Central Massachusetts has to offer. Why not help? We have lots of ways to help spread the word about Smith and the opportunities it affords young women – from innovative programs of study to a rich campus life. It’s easy, it doesn’t take a lot of time, and your contribution to our recruitment efforts will have a profound impact on Smith’s future.
