“This prestigious liberal arts college is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in the United States, providing women with a competitive education in the liberal arts and sciences for nearly 150 years. Smith students have access to even more distinguished faculty, academic programs, and network building opportunities through the Five College Consortium, which also includes Amherst, Mount Holyoke, Hampshire, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and collectively includes more than 7,000 courses, 2,100 faculty members, and 31,000 students. As one of the largest women’s colleges in the United States, with alumnae residing in all 50 states and more than 120 countries, there is no “old boys’ network” at Smith, but instead an “ageless women’s network.” Smith’s Alumnae Association, founded in 1881, offers volunteer opportunities, like representing Smith to prospective students (1,800 alumnae participate as Admission Volunteers), and a free digital Alumnae Book Club. The award-winning Smith Alumnae Quarterly tells the stories of its students and alumnae, from campus news to in-depth profiles of graduates.”
