College Bids Adieu to 13 Retiring Faculty Members

Every year, the president and provost host a reception for retiring faculty members to honor their scholarly contributions to the college and their disciplines—and their support for their students and the campus community.

At this year’s reception in May, toasts were offered by President Kathleen McCartney, Provost Katherine Rowe and a number of Smith faculty members in celebration of 13 retiring faculty colleagues. (Photos of the event can be seen on Facebook.)
