Office of Civil Rights & Community Support

At Smith, we believe every member of our community deserves to feel safe, respected, and valued. The Office of Civil Rights & Community Support (“CRCS”) is here to help all community members, including students, faculty members, staff members, and visitors. CRCS provides space to talk through concerns related to discrimination, harassment, or sexual misconduct; connects you with resources that are helpful for each individual; and shares options for support and options to address concerning conduct.

Smith is committed to ensuring equal access for all regardless of race, color, national origin, ethnicity or ethnic characteristics, shared ancestry, sex, pregnancy and related conditions, sexual orientation, gender identity including transgender identity, gender expression, religion, disability, age, genetics, or active military or veteran status. Smith also prohibits sexual misconduct including sexual assault, stalking, dating violence, and domestic violence. This behavior has no place in our community and stands in direct conflict with the safety, respect, and dignity we are committed to upholding.

If there are questions or concerns we can help with, or simply want to learn more about available resources, connect with us.
