A Culture of Curiosity

Abby Sweeney ’25

Economics and American Studies major; Global Finance concentrator

“Knowledge at Smith to me means a collaborative, supportive environment where I know I can learn without fear of failing, and know that my professors and peers are cultivating success.”

Xochitl Quiroz

First Years’ Engagement & Humanities Librarian

“Rather than gatekeep information or ideas, I find that the Smith community is quick to share out what they have learned with their community members. My favorite moments are when I am working with a class, and I am able to learn from both the students and faculty, despite being the instructor in that room.”

Carrie Baker

Professor of the Study of Women and Gender; Chair of the Program for the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality

“At Smith, we teach critical thinking as a key avenue to knowledge: relentless curiosity, questioning assumptions, and digging deeper. We don’t take anyone’s word for granted, but always do our homework to ensure we are getting it right.”

Carrie Baker

Cowiya Arouna ’21

Global Markets Strategic Investments Associate, Bank of America Merrill Lynch

“Smith created a space where I could be interested in economics and French and how the world works. I got to try hard things, be excited about things I never knew were possible. Smith gave me the confidence to say, I want to be part of the world of private equity and investment decision-making, and be able to navigate it, and go for it!”
