WELCOME TO SMITH COLLEGE!

While the schedule lists activities planned by us, we also encourage you to be independent: visit a class, explore campus, and enjoy our gardens. Event locations: You have two maps in your packet. The smaller one-page map identifies buildings where events are held today. The larger “Guide to the Campus” map identifies buildings by grid location; a letter and number correspond to location. Shuttle service between the Smith parking garage, Indoor Track and Tennis lot, Stables lot, Conference Center, and Sage Hall is available from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Program evaluation: We are interested in your feedback and we will send you an email after Fall Preview with a survey. Thank you in advance for completing the survey and helping us plan next year’s program.
