Annual Cider Party for Prospective Students
Coming up this weekend is our Annual Cider Party for Prospective Students and Alumnae. Please join us for one of our favorite new year traditions by welcoming incoming Smithies (the class of 2024!) to the Smith community at our Hot Cider Party. Meet, mingle, and give advice to the prospective, recently accepted, and current students while sipping cider and eating baked goods. This event will be held at the home of Laura Selznick '68 on Sunday, January 12th, from 2-4 pm in Palo Alto. If you're interested in joining us, please RSVP via Evite invite (club members only), or reach out to the club directly through email, at [email protected], for the address.

Holiday Tea and Optional Cookie Exchange!
On December 8th, Jean Davidson '73 graciously hosted almost 20 Smithies in her home in Atherton for the twelfth annual Holiday Tea and Cookie Exchange. Alumnae brought a wide variety of delicious sweet treats to share and sample and non-bakers were welcomed with warm company and hot tea.
New friends and old friends re-connected. At the end of the afternoon, we brought home the extra treats to share with our friends and family.

Upcoming College Events
Evening with President Kathleen McCartney and VP for Alumnae Relations Denise Wingate Materre '74
Smith College has a remarkable story to tell. It is a story of leadership, of women helping women, and of using the power of education and community to make a better world. Smith today is vibrant and innovative. Smith students are bold and creative thinkers. Smith graduates are driven, passionate changemakers. There is a lot to be excited about: the renovation of Neilson Library, Smith's Year on Climate Change initiative, and our Here For Every Voice campaign to raise $75 million in scholarship aid for students.
