Reasons to Celebrate Smith

Real feminism includes every voice.

Founded under President Ruth Simmons, Meridians: feminism, race, transnationalism was the first journal to focus on scholarship by and about women of color. Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, Meridians continues to publish peer-reviewed work that blends academic rigor and creativity. “We’ve moved with the times and contributed to changing the times,” says editor Ginetta E. B. Candelario ’90, a professor of sociology and of Latin American and Latino/a studies at Smith.

A Culture of Curiosity

Isa Otero ’26

Theatre major

It’s not uncommon that you’ll see a dancer featured on a Smith College stage, only to discover that their major is quantitative economics. That’s what drew me to Smith—the possibilities for students to pursue their varied passions, drawing strong connections between seemingly opposing fields.

About Our Open Curriculum

Chioma Opara ’27

Computer Science and Quantitative Economics double major

Being a Smithie means making space for others. Continually pushing the limits of what I think I can do. Trying new things. Taking risks. Being willing to change and adapt as my knowledge of the world expands.

Find Your Fit

Seunghyeon Kim ’26

Sociology and Statistical & Data Sciences double major

I noticed that people at Smith had a strong connection within the campus community and that students passionately pursued authentic learning. These two elements persuaded me to apply to Smith.

Adline Dely ’26

Biological Sciences major; Chemistry minor

Many of the colleges I got accepted to weren’t very generous with financial aid. Smith was different. The no-loans program meant that I could pursue my education without worrying too much about the financial burden on my family.
