The Graduates
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. – The following statistics offer a glimpse of the students who make up the Smith College Class of 2010. They will receive their degrees following a speech by Rachel Maddow, a political analyst and media host, during Smith's 132nd commencement ceremony.
The ceremony will be held Sunday, May 16, at 10 a.m. in the Quadrangle at the corner of Elm Street and Paradise Road. Should it need to be shifted inside because of inclement weather, it will be held in the Indoor Track & Tennis Facility (ITT) on West Street.
To ensure that there is ample space in the Quad (or ITT, in case of rain) for graduates and their families, the college is providing several alternatives for viewing the ceremony. It will be simulcast to John M. Greene Hall, rain or shine, and available via live Web stream online.
