October
2, 2003-- Smith College President Carol T. Christ chronicled the
college's recent successes and challenges at an alumnae reception held
at the St. Louis Art Museum. She described the physical changes
to the campus such as the renovations to the Art Museum and the Lyman
Plant House. She also talked about how the newly opened Campus
Center has made an immediate impact upon student life at Smith.
President Christ also highlighted various programs at the College
inlcuding the Poetry Center, the Kahn Institute and the Center for
Women and Financial Independence.
Current budget
challenges to the college were also a topic of discussion.
President Christ noted that the endowment has suffered from the
conditions in the stock market and that the amount of alumnae gifts
have decreased. She also cited current employee health insurance
as being a significant cost to the college. These times called for
"more careful stewardship" of the college's finances according to
President Christ. In response to a question from the audience,
President Christ outlined the college's current plan for re-examining
the dining system, which she assured the alums was only in the fact
finding stage. |
