Events
Club events offer opportunities to reunite with old friends and meet new Smithies. The Committee oversees the annual holiday party, faculty lecture, and spring tea, and partners with the College and other Smith groups to host NYC events. The Committee develops event ideas, finds guest speakers, rents venues, coordinates food and beverage needs and day-of set-up and clean-up. If you would like to lend a hand, or if you have an event idea, contact Events@smithclubnyc.com.
Benefit
The Benefit committee organizes the club's cherished annual fundraising event and is our way of giving back to the college. It traditionally features a keynote speaker and proceeds are paid directly to a scholarship endowment fund managed by the college, which continues to grow to meet todays costs of a college education thanks to the generosity of Smith Alumnae who gather at this event to celebrate their connection to the college and each other as alumnae. For further information or if you would like to help with the benefit planning contact benefit@smithclubnyc.com. For more information about this committee, please view the Benefit Committee page.
