Recruiting News
Alumnae Area Coordinator (AAC) Marylou Cronin ’88 is happy to report that thirty-two young women from the Peninsula currently are enrolled at Smith, not counting those studying abroad or on leave this spring! This is a great yield from our area. Recruiting efforts this year included many local interviews conducted by our volunteer alumnae, and our annual Hot Cider Party in January.
Several of the students who attended the recruiting events along with their parents said that they felt the alumnae contact, during their interviews and afterward while they were making their decisions, played a big role in their choice to go to Smith. This is what the College consistently tells us—Smith alums make all the difference!
