Our keynote speaker will be Dr. Salman Akhtar, renowned psychoanalyst and Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Jefferson Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University. His keynote lecture will be "From Xenophobia through Prejudice to Ethnic Violence."

Programming and Events

We are also planning many professional development presentations by faculty and alumni, as well as engaging lunchtime panel presentations. Look forward to A Dean's Welcome, Friday night dinner and a Saturday night dance, as well as receptions and opportunities to gather informally with classmates and friends.

One-Woman Show

On Thursday evening, July 17, preceding the opening session, we will feature a one-woman show by current student Chara Riegel, '08, titled "Cowgirl Expatriate: A Texas Memoir."

The piece was originally produced as her community practice project and explores Texas identity through a bold look at race, sex, religion, violence and President Bush.

Smith Through the Years

Prior to the Sunday closing brunch we will feature a session of reminiscing about Smith through the years hosted by former Dean Ann Hartman, who is also writing a history of the School for the anniversary celebration. Watch your mail this coming winter for the registration brochure and check this web page for details as they develop.
