Get Acquainted

There’s a lot you need to know about living your best life at Smith—so we’ve distilled it all down into three important lists.

Give Back, Plate by Plate

Want to lend a helping hand and reduce food waste in the process? Contact the Smith Food Rescue Network to see about helping to donate dining hall leftovers to members of the Northampton community who may be in need. Donations—totaling more than 22,000 pounds since the program’s inception in 2022—most often go to Manna Kitchen, but the Rescue Network may have other local locations in mind as well.
