You’re invited! Who says Tuesday doughnuts are just for the school year? Not us! If you’re on campus this summer, we’d love to see you at a special community event on Tuesday, July 23, from 8:30–9:30 a.m. Come snack on some sweet treats and coffee, of course, while you catch up with folks you might not have seen in a while. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options available.

To support Smith's efforts to divert waste from the landfill, students Dimitra Prassa '25 and Jade Wong '24 have designed updated signage to post on all campus waste receptacles. These signs have been approved by Facilities and have already been posted in key areas like the Campus Center. Feel free to print and post the signs linked here in your area. Also, remember that you can compost all cups, disposable takeaway containers and most utensils from campus events! drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Pj-aqBQoZ1yM0PACL_ICTM84-4re5Ocg?usp=drive_link

The Smith College Accessibility Resource Center (ARC), formerly The Office of Disability Services (ODS), has changed its name based on feedback collected in strategic planning focus groups with students, faculty, and staff across the college. The center maintains a strong focus on Disability Justice, while also acknowledging that some people with access needs do not identify as disabled. This change has become increasingly important as the office has grown rapidly across time (from serving 9% of students in 2008 to 39% in 2023).

The Parking Office will be open, but will provide limited services, Monday, July 15, through Wednesday, July 24. Email and voicemail will be checked periodically throughout this time. Please visit smith.edu/purchase-parking-decal to purchase your decal, pay outstanding fines, and appeal citations.
