Each summer we take this wonderful opportunity to welcome newly matriculation students, students who who are home for the summer, and local alums. It's a special kind of magic to see our young local students connect and share their enthusiasm for heading off to Northampton. Thank you to Joy Silver for hosting!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! We had a delightful event at the home of Joy Silver '96 (THANK YOU, JOY), welcoming many of our newly matriculating Smithies and catching up with a few current Smithies who are in the area for the Summer. Every year this event is such a special moment for the new students to experience a taste of the lasting connection that Smith offers, and for alums to meet these promising, brilliant young people at the beginning of their Smith journey.

We gathered on this beautiful day to welcome local students who are heading to Smith for the first time this Fall! It was a great mix of new students, current students, young alums, and less-young alums.

The start of the summer signals time for one of our very favorite annual events - the summer tea!
