A Culture of Community

Juliette Hampton ’27

Engineering major; Mathematics minor

“Community is the core of Smith College—the community of students in a class or in a particular major, sharing the same struggles and setbacks. Community is when people support each other, and can count on that support in return.”

Sunny Windorski ’20

Director of Wellness Services

“I love being part of the Smith community. Smith brings together people with so many interests and experiences. Getting to learn about these experiences and bring them together in the work we do is what makes my job so interesting.”

Maya Rosen

Assistant Professor of Neuroscience

“Being able to say we’re here for you and you can be comfortable in our study—that is definitely building a bridge that was broken.”

Abby Allen ’19

Jewish Educator

“Being back on campus is so special. As you know, Smith is magical. At Shabbat dinners there’s time for them to talk with friends and just hang out together at the end of the week.”
