December 6, 2017

The Smith Club kicked off the month by gathering to create care packages to send to current Smithies. Members from classes 1973-2017 filled about 190 bags with stress relievers, snacks, and notes of encouragement to help  NYC-area students make it through their finals. We hope you'll finish out the year with us, too!
