College Events

The Smith community comes together for events throughout the year. From the first Rally Day in 1876, to Julia Child Day and the Sherrerd Teaching Prizes, begun in 2004, the college's annual events honor our students, faculty and alumnae for their accomplishments; bring families to campus for a taste of college life; and give students an opportunity to learn, reflect or just have fun.

Gear up for Julia Child Day, Smithies! This year marks the 20th anniversary of this cherished Smith tradition. We look forward to celebrating the French Chef with some of her delicious recipes at our dining halls on November 21.

Open to students only.
