KEY

Welcome to Smith! We’re excited you’re here to celebrate

Reunion and the Smith friendships that have sustained you

since graduation.

Alumnae always tell us that one of the greatest gifts of their Smith

experience is the sisterhood they share with other Smith women.

No matter how much time passes, the bonds among Smith alumnae

endure and only grow stronger.

This weekend is all about connection. From the Ivy Day parade to

Illumination Night to faculty presentations, we want you to once again

experience the power of Smith, its place in the world, and its remarkable

legacy of creating the leaders and visionaries the world needs. Over the

next few days, take some time to reconnect with the faces and places

you love, make new friends, and bask in the Smith of today.

A special thanks goes to the hundreds of alumnae who have generously

given their time, talents, and ideas to enrich our celebration.

Enjoy the weekend. We hope to see you again.
