Reasons to Celebrate Smith

Our biggest classroom blooms year-round.

Established in 1895 by Smith’s first president, Laurenus Clark Seelye, the botanic garden is a 127-acre living laboratory. Plant research, art installations, classroom visits, and guest lectures all make the garden an integral part of the Smith curriculum. “It is not simply the presence of the plants in our collections,” says director John Berryhill, “but the work we choose to do with them that will define us.”

A Culture of Curiosity

Computer Science major

What’s an accomplishment you’re proud of?
“Building an online community for ‘computer science girlies.’ This project started during my summer undergraduate research fellowship (SURF) in 2023. Inspired by my research and Smith colleagues, I began sharing videos on TikTok to explain computer science concepts. We’ve grown to 60,000 followers on TikTok, 60,000 on Instagram, and 10,000 members in our Discord community.”

What does being a Smithie mean to you? 
“Being a Smithie means that I am part of a long history of students who are activists, leaders, forward-thinkers, and change makers. It’s an honor to participate in the unique traditions that Smithies before me have taken part in.”

Favorite thing about Smith?
“A highlight of my Smith experience has been the opportunity to travel through short-term and study abroad programs. Thanks to these opportunities, I’ve been able to visit Greece, Barbados, France, Brazil, and Switzerland. These experiences have broadened my worldview and deepened my appreciation for global perspectives and connections.”

What has financial aid meant to you?
“It means my sky is limitless. Financial aid has opened the door for both me and my family. My family can continue to pursue their own endeavors and business, and I can focus solely on my career and education.”
