President Sarah Willie-LeBreton
Smith College’s 12th president, Sarah Willie-LeBreton, has been in office since 2023. An accomplished scholar, sociologist, and educator who studies social inequality and race and ethnicity, her focus for her presidential tenure is on moving Smith—and, by extension, the world—forward as a community to a more joyful, just place.
“The promise of education is not just the creation of knowledge, but the model of how to share it for our mutual liberation and the collective good.”
