Smith Spring Showcases

Curiosity. Creativity. Collaboration.

At Smith College, students have a wide range of opportunities to showcase their scholarly projects, creative talent, and innovative solutions to complex problems. Throughout the spring semester, students share their perspectives and present their research work, community engagement, and artistic and creative endeavors. The Smith Spring Showcase events illustrate the breadth and depth of the liberal arts and exemplify the Smith culture of inquiry, curiosity, and innovation. Students, faculty, staff, and community members are encouraged to attend these events, most of which are free of charge.

For disability access information or accommodation requests, call 413-585-2669. To request a sign language interpreter, email arc@smith.edu at least ten days before the event.
