When I came to Smith on my official visit, I immediately noticed the tight-knit community in athletics and the college as a whole, not to mention the uniqueness of having all athletic programs tailored to female athletes and their needs. It was the type of community of strong independent women that I aspired to be a part of, which is why I am so thankful to be a part of this program and school.”
