Announcements
Jacobson Center Telegram
Issued in early fall and maybe in the winter, too, the Jacobson Center newsletter is aimed at the entire college community of staff, faculty, and students. Its aim is to update the community on the accomplishments of the Jacobson Center staff, to notify it about upcoming events, to offer news specifically for faculty, and to feature a short perspective on writing or the work of the center. Read the Spring 2024 issue here.
Issue #4 of Smith Writes is live!
Smith Writes is an annual publication dedicated to exemplary work by first-year writers in WI courses. The current issue features essays on drag & spirituality at Smith, walkability in American cities, and Mrs. Dalloway as a consumerist icon, among others. You can read the issue here.
