Smith College is one of the nation’s largest colleges dedicated to educating women. In 1999, Smith became the first women’s college in the nation to establish its own program in engineering science, the Picker Engineering Program.
The Smith Summer Science and Engineering Program (SSEP), a part of the Smith College Pre-College Programs and is designed for exceptional high school students with strong interests in science and engineering. Students engage in hands-on research with Smith faculty in life and physical sciences and in engineering. Established in 1990, the program annually serves more than 100 students. Since its inception, nearly 1,800 students have participated, representing 46 states and 53 countries. After the program, participants return to high school better prepared to tackle tough science courses and understand what to expect in college.
Since 2004, Smith College has been a committed educational institution in sponsoring and hosting 31 GAN Scholars as part of the GAN Summer STEM Enrichment Program. Each GAN cohort has overwhelmingly reported transformative testimonials from their Smith summer experience. GAN Scholars and their family members are able to visit the campus, talk to the professors and students to hear about college life at Smith and what it has to offer.
GAN has further partnered with the Smith College Pre-College Creative Writing Workshop resulting in GAN Scholars alumni.
