June Challenge 2023

The Smith Fund powers campus, from Convocation to Ivy Day, from the athletic fields to Paradise Pond trails, study carrolls in the Hillyer Art Library to booths in the Campus Center. Virtually every aspect of students’ lives, from noodle bowls for dinner in the Quad to essential equipment in science labs is supported by gifts to The Smith Fund.
