For all of you who came to the meeting, thanks for showing up — sorry I was unprepared for the response. Next year I’ll have a larger room and more doughnuts!

I am sending as an attachment Daryl Gehman’s handout about graduate schools. I remind you that the other speaker from the CDO was David Machowski, who is ready, willing, and able to help you find work next year.

I wanted to let you know about a very exciting brand new website made just for you by the Alumnae Association. http://alumnae.smith.edu/smithcms/2010/index.php. It was created to centralize helpful information for Seniors: class events, class news, relevant CDO information, campus events calendar, commencement information, and ways to connect to Alums.

AND be sure to come to the Powderpuff game on Sunday October 25th, tailgate at 1:30pm and GAME TIME at 2:00pm. You can purchase team shirts in the CC this week at lunch time on Wednesday or Friday or simply wear RED to the game.

Cheers,

If you are interested in playing in the game, email Katie Clark kclark@smith.edu directly ASAP.
