#InclusiveSmith

Together, we can invest in more inclusive working, living and learning at Smith, including programming from the Office of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity. Fostering a community that celebrates various perspectives, outlooks and values helps #SmithiesLead.
A gift to the Inclusive Smith designation supports initiatives such as:
- Awareness training & programming
discussing barriers to inclusion at Smith and sharing ideas about how to break these barriers down
- Bridge program expansion
a pre-orientation program for first-year students of color, providing opportunities for finding mentors, friends, resources and a community—all before other students even arrive on campus.
- Dialoguing across differences
setting aside time during the academic year to celebrate diversity, explore cultural heritage and experiences, and challenge the community to think critically about cultural pluralism.
- A mental health taskforce
to examine and improve mental health resources on campus
Your gift of any size helps make a difference. Please give as generously as you can.
Thank you.
The Smith Fund is #poweredbysmithies
