The international atmosphere at Smith is not restricted
to the classroom. Approximately seven percent of the student body is composed of
students from outside the United States. The International Students Organization
helps these students share their cultures with the rest of the campus -- and with
each other. There are other organizations that are region- or culture-specific --
among them the Asian Students Association, the Chinese Inter-Regional Student Cultural
Organization, the Smith African and Caribbean Students Organization, the South Asian
Students Association, and the Vietnamese Students Association.
These organizations sponsor talks by prominent personalities,
movies, cultural workshops and shows. Events also include “awareness” weeks
that focus on specific cultures and regions as well as conferences that examine global
issues. Other programs expose international students to various aspects of the American
culture, foster community among international students of Smith and those from other
college campuses, and assist them in socializing comfortably.
Involvement and membership in these organizations is
open to all students, irrespective of nationality, cultural identity, age or disability.
The only prerequisite is a desire to learn and share.
