Reasons to Celebrate Smith

Her beef bourguignon is still on the menu.

During her time at Smith, culinary icon Julia McWilliams Child ’34 played basketball (she was 6 feet, 2 inches tall), served on the student council, joined the Dramatics Association, and chaired the refreshment committee for her senior prom. In 1948, she moved to Paris with her husband—and the rest is history. Her PBS show, The French Chef, made her a star, and her influence continues at Smith, where the campus center is named for her and where Julia Child Day is celebrated each November with recipes from her cookbooks. Bon appétit!

Many of the colleges I got accepted to weren’t very generous with financial aid. Smith was different. The no-loans program meant that I could pursue my education without worrying too much about the financial burden on my family.
