3 Welcome to Smith! We re excited you re here to celebrate Reunion and the Smith friendships that have sustained you since graduation. Alumnae always tell us that one of the greatest gifts of their Smith experience is the sisterhood they share with other Smith women. No matter how much time passes, the bonds among Smith alumnae endure and only grow stronger. This weekend is all about connection. From the Ivy Day parade to Illumination Night to faculty presentations, we want you to once again experience the power of Smith, its place in the world, and its remarkable legacy of creating the leaders and visionaries the world needs. Over the next few days, take some time to reconnect with the faces and places you love, make new friends, and bask in the Smith of today. A special thanks goes to the hundreds of alumnae who have generously given their time, talents, and ideas to enrich our celebration. Enjoy the weekend. We hope to see you again. Kathleen McCartney President Smith College Samantha Pleasant Director for Reunions, Classes, and Clubs
