Students with Kim Allston

Center for Religious & Spiritual Life

We welcome you exactly as you are, joyful, tired, lonely, or curious, and our mission is that you feel accepted in body, mind and soul. The most important goal of the CRSL is radical hospitality. Regardless of whether you consider yourself religious, non- religious, spiritual but not religious, agnostic or atheist, questioning, or anything in between, this is your space. We provide and offer opportunities for serious religious observance and learning. We are queer affirming and committed to principles of equity and human rights that are at the heart of all faith and wisdom traditions.

Toward Racial Justice at Smith - A Living Document for Community Comment

In this time of urgent racial crisis, we emerge from ongoing planning into powerful action.

With recommendations from our Toward Racial Justice at Smith plan, Smith College continues its commitment to transparency, to inclusivity and to racial justice at Smith. Informed by student, staff and faculty voices to Inclusion in Action work, as well as student and alumnae/i demands, discussions with the Inclusion Council and Presidents’ Cabinet, the college commits to action.
