Scholarly research may be great for a professor's
career, but how will his or her academic work help you? First, you'll discuss
up-to-date theories and ideas with a professor who probably knows that field's
key figures (or is one!). Second, you can become a professor's paid research
assistant and get experience as a student-scholar as early as your first year at
Smith.
Smith faculty members are conducting research on a wealth
of topics, including Yiddish literature and Jewish culture, the evolutionary history
of microbial cells, New York and the birth of popular culture, and competitive balance
in professional sports teams. Those in the arts create sculptures and paintings and
compose fiction, poetry, music, dances and plays. Every year some 80 students spend
their summer working closely with professors on original research.
