Smith Alumni Chapters
The growing network of Smith Alumni Chapters present a variety of events and activities for Smith alumni. Events focus primarily on professional development and networking opportunities, and often feature top-notch speakers and panelists from the ranks of our own alumni, as well as the broader business world. Our Alumni Chapters are led by a team of volunteer alumni executives, and they host multiple events throughout the year.
