The Smith Design will be realized progressively as new and existing resources are aligned with specific initiatives. Major elements of each of the strategic directions are expected to be refined in 2008, providing exciting opportunities for philanthropic support.
Our success will result in students finding a more focused and intentional path through the open curriculum and a fuller and more integrated set of skills and capacities honed by enhanced opportunities for independent work.
We will continue to assess the ways in which The Smith Design advances our longstanding commitment to active learning, social engagement, international study and the advancement of women in nontraditional fields.
With student learning at the forefront of our commitments, we will measure our success across several dimensions: a strong, diverse and vibrant applicant pool, drawn to Smith for its distinctive educational program and its commitment to women’s leadership; successful and accomplished graduates who manifest the value of a Smith education in their achievements and life choices; and a public profile that reflects Smith’s significant contributions to the critical issues of our times. |
