Smith Student Athlete Advisory Committee

Subcommittees

These subcommittees have been designed to provide for more effective communication among the Smith Athletic and Academic Community, encourage academic achievement, social responsibility and general awareness on campus and to provide a positive student-athlete image through involvement in the community.
