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 alumnae endure and only grow stronger.

This weekend is all about connection. From the Alumnae 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 generously gave their time, talents, and ideas to enrich our Reunion celebration.

Enjoy the weekend!
