ATTRACTING THE BEST STUDENTS

Smith as a Global College

Smith students expect and welcome the personal and educational benefits of an international student population. In the laboratories, over dinner, on trips to town or to faculty and friends' homes, they share perspectives on life in their own culture and living in the United States. This sharing of ideas and aspirations is part of Smith's tradition of valuing international exchange for its own sake and as preparation for life, especially in a world where international relations have become so necessary.

International Student DayFrom President Neilson welcoming intellectual émigrés in the 1930s, to the thousands of students who have traveled through Study Abroad, the American Studies program that has received so many faculty from other nations, the growing number of our alumnae who reside outside the U.S. or the many nations represented in the current student body, Smith mirrors both the past and the future in its emphasis on learning and understanding other nations and cultures.
