Campus Overview
Smith College is private women's liberal arts college in Northampton, Massachusetts. Founded in 1871, the college is well established in the arts and the humanities as well as the sciences, and has over 50 areas of study. The school also supports numerous extra-curricular and co-curricular opportunities as well as a number of services to aid students in achieving their diverse goals.
Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship
Student innovation and entrepreneurship at Smith College has recently begun gaining momentum in both available resources and demonstrated student interest. Smith has a number of courses and workshops, both interdepartmental and department-specific, that introduce the concepts of design thinking and entrepreneurship, allow students to use and experiment with these tools in hands-on settings, and build their creative confidence. These curricular resources are supplemented by other extra-curricular opportunities such as various conferences, competitions, and student organizations that allow students to gain further exposure and enrich their innovative experiences. The recently established Conway Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship works hard to inspire and encourage students to engage in innovative ventures.
Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship
As a liberal arts college, Smith has mostly focused on encouraging and supporting faculty as researchers and teachers. While this does allow innovation in terms of designing courses and workshops, there is little encouragement towards entrepreneurial ventures. Deeply academic individuals, the faculty demonstrates limited interest in these areas of work. However, a recently launched series of design thinking workshops for faculty, and the Sherrerd Center for Teaching and Learning show promise of an emerging I&E culture among the faculty. Further efforts to strengthen and support this transformation is necessary, however, in order to have the culture established and accepted.
Facilitating university-industry collaboration
The Smith Career Development Office maintains a website, E-access, a platform for finding jobs and internships in industry. The office also notifies students of upcoming job and internship application deadlines or opportunities via regular emails. University-industry collaboration is also strengthened by field trips, conferences, and alumnae outreach. The academic departments also facilitate major-specific industry communication by forwarding information about opportunities to students. However, these opportunities are limited and do not accommodate a broad variety of academic and vocational interests.
Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts
Smith College has limited engagement in regional and local development efforts, and shows little interest in it. Initiative is yet to be taken to launch such efforts.
