As Smith prepares you for a life of distinction, the college recognizes the stress of meeting high expectations while juggling competing demands. Linking programming on leadership, work preparation and wellness practices, the Center for Work and Life provides a context where you can forge your own path to leadership and work, discover opportunities for renewal and reflection, and explore concepts of fulfillment uniquely suited to you.
With the Center for Work and Life, Smith College introduces the concept that a "life well-lived" is not necessarily all about doing academic work or building a high-powered career or even all about service. Instead, it is about making purposeful choices, as often as possible, at the junctures and cross-points of life and work. To that end, every woman can benefit from developing a habit of reflection and from learning to forge a dynamic relationship between the two.
