A Culture of Community

Yunxian Ding ’28

Engineering major; Computer Science minor

“Smith is a very warm and inclusive community. So far I find everyone here is so nice and kind. I work at Tyler dining hall. Our coordinator Michelle is super encouraging and never blames me, even if I put the plates in the wrong places.”

Work for Your Community

Heather DeLand

Career Specialist, Lazarus Center for Career Development

“In my role with the new Career Communities team at the Lazarus Center, fostering a sense of community is a core focus. I am actively creating physical, intellectual, and virtual spaces that encourage connections among students, employers, alumni, faculty, and staff. This community at Smith thrives on shared knowledge and a strong sense of belonging.”

Myra M. Sampson Professor of Religion and Middle East Studies

“Creating a community is only possible when everyone—the majority, at least—realizes that their collective and individual good is reached by interdependence and mutual help, despite some differences and disagreements (which are inevitable).”

Jennifer Loveman Manthei ’90

Director of Operations & Chief Liaison for the Advancement Division, Boston Museum of Science

“The value of working with a team is maybe my biggest takeaway from my time working with the [Smith College Historic Clothing] collection, and that you didn’t have to say, ‘I’m a theatre person’ or ‘I’m a math person,’ because [we were all there for the collection]; we just came from different perspectives. Getting someone else’s perspective always enhanced what I was doing.”
