The Smith College Club of Philadelphia invites you to afternoon tea at Pennswood Village on Sunday, February 24th. This event will feature an alumnae panel discussion: “Smith Through the Decades: 1940’s through 2010’s”. Enjoy delicious refreshments and great company as we explore our shared history! What was it like to be a Smith student during World War II? How did day-to-day life at Smith change in the 70’s as the Women’s Movement grew? What’s on the minds of today’s Smithies? Alumnae from the days of FDR through the Obama era will share and compare personal memories of their college years during nearly seven decades of tumultuous change.
We thank the residents and staff of Pennswood Village, a Quaker-based continuing care retirement community, for hosting this event.

Using Social Media to Boost Your Career
It’s a social world today, with Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and many other platforms changing the way we portray our personal stories, communicate with others and share information.
