Reasons to Celebrate Smith

Social work is social justice.

Since its founding in 1918, the Smith College School for Social Work has been pushing the boundaries of the helping professions. The school was the first to offer a formal program for training social workers, the first to offer multicultural courses and training, and one of the first to formally commit to becoming an anti-racist organization. Speaking at the school’s 2024 Commencement ceremony, Dean Marianne Yoshioka (who plans to retire next year) called on graduates to speak out against oppression: “Uplift those we serve, and shape the changes that raise the bar for an ethical and just world.” Professor Mary Hall is pictured at left.

It’s not uncommon that you’ll see a dancer featured on a Smith College stage, only to discover that their major is quantitative economics. That’s what drew me to Smith—the possibilities for students to pursue their varied passions, drawing strong connections between seemingly opposing fields.

Being a Smithie means making space for others. Continually pushing the limits of what I think I can do. Trying new things. Taking risks. Being willing to change and adapt as my knowledge of the world expands.

Many of the colleges I got accepted to weren’t very generous with financial aid. Smith was different. The no-loans program meant that I could pursue my education without worrying too much about the financial burden on my family.
