Smithie Fulbrights Everywhere

This year Smith was the #1 top producing bachelor's institution for 2005 Fulbright Scholars. Smith boasts the highest number of U.S. Fulbright Scholars this year with a total 16 awards. Even better news is that the class of 1999's own Cassie Hays was among this year's scholars. Congrats Cassie and congrats to Smith!

The school listings are located here in the Chronicle of Higher Education.

Mary Poppins & Smith


So I am a serious lover of random facts and I want to share today's random fact with everyone. Today I was delighted to learn that the woman who wrote the Mary Poppins books, P.L. Travers, was once, among her many other jobs, a writer in residence at Smith College. For more on the life of P.L. Travers see this interesting CNN story.

As a total aside, for other random fact junkies I would highly reccomend the magazine Mental Floss. I just discovered it and it is now one of my most favorite things.
