From the alumnae who served as ambulance drivers in
post-World War I France through President Neilson’s welcoming of intellectual émigrés
in the 1930s and the establishment of Junior Year Abroad programs, Smith College
has long supported experiencing another culture as essential to a liberal arts education.
Every year, close to 50 percent of Smith’s
student body spends time abroad before graduation. Some participate in faculty-led
programs during Interterm, others take advantage of Praxis opportunities to participate
in an internship during the summer, while others
choose to spend a semester or a full academic year studying
in another country on one of Smith's own JYA programs in Florence, Geneva, Hamburg
and Paris, Smith's consortial programs in Spain, Japan, India and Mexico, or
other approved programs. From Africa, to Asia, to Europe, to Latin America and several
English-speaking countries in both hemispheres, Smith students are out in the world
applying what they’ve learned on campus to new
environments and cultures that allow them to take steps towards global leadership.
Smith is dedicated
to encouraging students and alumnae to connect their education and careers to the
wider world. The Fellowships Office, the Office for International Study and the Career
Development Office advise students and alumnae applying for international fellowships
(such as the Rhodes, Marshall, Mitchell, Fulbright, Luce and NSEP) and for international
internships and jobs. The Office for International Study also allocates funds for
international student projects and faculty-led January-term courses. |
