It is larger than prejudice
It is stronger than indifference
For the love of our community
And for the love of ourselves,
We celebrate
Those who find joy and beauty
In loving without boundaries

The Smith College chapter systematically works with more than 400 other university groups around the world to deliver and implement the medical program.
