Because of Sophia Smith’s bold ideals
and transforming gift, Smith College has always provided women the finest liberal
arts education and prepared them for fulfilling lives. Students are immersed in a
learning environment that encourages self-confidence and builds leadership skills
needed to achieve their personal and professional goals. At Smith, students form
lifelong friendships and, upon graduation, join a network of successful alumnae.
As generations can proudly attest, Smith College is a place where women come first
and do best.
Smith has always had the foresight to take great care
with its mission. In 1912 the Alumnae Fund was created to provide financial flexibility
for pressing needs. It was a wise initiative: the generosity of alumnae, parents
and friends ensures that deserving students receive financial aid; Smith’s
award-winning faculty garners research opportunities; remarkable resources are renewed
and sustained.
Like Ivy Day, gifts to The Smith Fund
are a part of a time-honored tradition that underscores the college’s distinctive
intellectual profile. They offer vital resources to the academic community. Smith
is a leader in the liberal arts and often on the cutting edge of higher education.
As thinking evolves, the world moves quickly -- for today and tomorrow, The Smith Fund gifts can match this sense of urgency.
