<p>Welcome to the Smith College Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Team! We are a group of Smithies who love to grapple in a safe and positive environment. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art focused on ground grappling. It was developed with the goal of creating a fighting form where size and strength do not matter. It utilizes body weight physics instead of pure strength, and it is a submission martial art, so you win by making your opponent "tap out". In addition, it has many applications in self-defense and MMA.</p>
<p>In this club, we will be learning the fundamentals of Jiu Jitsu in a safe and comfortable environment. Newcomers are welcome and encouraged to come!</p>
<p>Meetings are Wednesday 3:30 - 5 pm and Sundays 4-6 pm in the rockclimbing gym! <br />Hope to see you on the mats!</p>

Celebration is an annual event focused on unifying the campus and celebrating love in all its forms.

Then, Smith houses and student organizations are invited to perform songs, dances, and poetry to celebrate loving without boundaries.

It is larger than prejudice
It is stronger than indifference
For the love of our community
And for the love of ourselves,
We celebrate

<p>Comstock house is one of the ten houses in the quad. Comstock and its twin neighbor, Haynes, were built in 1928. They share a covered front entrance and a bell tower, and their back wings join to form a courtyard that is nicknamed the "mini-quad."&nbsp;Although Comstock has an architectural twin, its many traditions set it apart from the rest. Comstock&nbsp;is haunted by a friendly ghost named Gloria. Gloria rattles doors and makes unexpected appearances to Comstock sleepers. There are tons of events throughout the year, from study breaks to karaoke night.&nbsp;Senior Banquet&nbsp;is one of the last chances for the whole house to gather before final exams and graduation.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Emerson House, known affectionately by house members as Efo (which stands for Emerson Forever), is home to 87 members. Emerson is a part of the Paradise Neighborhood and is the main entry point to the quad when coming from campus. Besides our beloved arch, Emerson also has a full kitchen, living room, and our own dining hall. Our dining hall, open for breakfast and dinner (and brunch on the weekends) is the perfect place to come back to after a day on campus since there&rsquo;s always someone to sit with. On nice days, especially at the beginning of the year, residents eat outside together in the middle of the quad. Whether it&rsquo;s playing music in the alcove, throwing water out of the arch during quad riot, or struggling through finals together at 2 am in the dining hall, Emerson residents love being together, because of course, home is where the arch is.

The Smith student body consists of demographics typically underrepresented in both games and the gaming industry, and we hope to change that by creating an encouraging starting point as well as a platform to vocalize opinions and experiences in order to shift gaming culture.</p>

<p>Gillett House is five stories of bricks, chaos, and wood-paneling whose house community is centered around the allegedly haunted elevator and a love for wildlife. From Gillett, it's a 7-minute walk to everywhere on campus (if you speedwalk some places), which is great for the late-risers that stayed up late procrastinating their homework. Built in 1911, Gillett existed long before its younger sibling Northrop, who was built 5 minutes after Gillett (which is why we got the full dining hall).&nbsp;Gillett is easily identified by the covered walkway that connects it to Northrop (Gillett's mirror image except for the dining hall, first-floor bedrooms, and coolness levels), and is named for Edward Gillett-- one of the first trustees of Smith and an energetic supporter of women's education and Smith College.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Across from Gillett on Elm Street is the bus stop, where the PVTA services the entire world (of the 5 College area), and is near John M. Greene Hall, where most all-college events occur, which means we can be notoriously almost-late-but-not-actually-late to functions. We're situated by the corner of Elm Street and Prospect Street at 47 Elm St, but if you put that address into Doordash, it'll take the deliverer to Chase House instead.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our living room is full of laughter, lively discussions about if all foods can be categorized as a soup, salad, or sandwich, and comfy couches with a fireplace mantel decorated in outdated encyclopedias and a plastic flamingo mascot from the dollar store. There are a few rooms that go to incoming pairs of first-year roommates, but everyone else in the house gets their own room (and some of these single rooms are connected by small hallways, so we refer to these groupings as "cubbies" and the inhabitants as "cubby-mates"). So even if you don't have the opportunity to have a roommate, you'll probably have a cubby-mate during your four years!</p>

The mission of Global Medical Brigades is to work with licensed medical professionals and community health workers to provide comprehensive health services in rural communities in Guatemala, Honduras, Ghana, and Panama. These communities have limited access to health care, and the facilities that exist are often severely understaffed and lacking in medical supplies, leaving families with ailments both untreated and undiagnosed, sometimes for an entire lifetime. To help resolve this disparity, Global Brigades has developed a medical program with the goal of providing consistent access to healthcare using an economically sustainable model. The Smith College chapter systematically works with more than 400 other university groups around the world to deliver and implement the medical program.

We are known for our tight-knit community of nerds who show up and our annual haunted house!

Cool Facts:
- Haven House was named after Eliza Haven, a woman who lived nearby and donated all of her money to the astronomy department after she died. Because of this, Haven House is often nicknamed the house for the stars!
- Wesley used to be an annex for a church as was located on the other side of Haven where the campus center now sits. In order to make room, Wesley was put on wheels and moved to her existing location.
- Sylvia Plath lived in Haven-Wesley for a year, residing in a room on the third floor of Haven!

Come see what the coolest people on campus spend their time doing...
Join us on the fields where 4-5 days a week we run, throw, catch, and learn to perform other such athletic feats (and look cool doing them!). On the weekends we adventure to exciting East Coast locales including Vermont!, Maine!, Connecticut!, and other parts of Massachusetts! for exhilarating tournaments where we test our skills against other teams (and sometimes get them to dance with us).
Check out our <a href="https://www.instagram.com/luna_ultimate/">Instagram</a>&nbsp;to see some of the fun we get up to!
Email us at smith.lunadisc@gmail.com for more info about practice time and place, commitment, buying some of our cool merch, or anything else! We love new players, no matter level of experience and no matter if you're a senior looking to try something new or an incoming first year looking for your college sport. Hope to see you on the fields sometime soon!</p>

<h3>WHAT IS MATRICULATE?</h3>
<p id="yui_3_17_2_1_1675391201105_225" class="">Matriculate is a non-profit organization that strives to help thousands of incredibly talented and high-achieving, low-income high school students who miss the chance to attend some of the top colleges simply because they do not apply.&nbsp;This lost opportunity means that these top students may attend colleges where they ultimately pay more and do not receive the support that they deserve, leading to lower grades and graduation rates, as well as more debt.</p>
<p class="">This is a problem that Matriculate seeks to solve&ndash;but only with the help of our college student Advising Fellows</p>
<p class=""><a href="/actioncenter/organization/matriculate/&lt;iframe title=&quot;vimeo-player&quot; src=&quot;https:/player.vimeo.com/video/159493287?h=a57feb33a6&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;360&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;">Why Join?</a></p>

Annually, we participate in running the Five College Model United Nations Conference as crisis directors, chairs, and staffers for their committees. We also attend the Harvard National Model United Nations Conference as delegates, and are planning to go to more conferences in the future. This club is fun, energetic, and always welcoming new members. Feel free to email us with any questions!</p>

<p>Positioned as a student advocated partner of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, a branch of the Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity Department, the Mwangi Cultural Center is an important cornerstone on campus, providing a physical space for cultural organizations and students of color to engage in holistic programming, host intellectually enriching discussions, and effectively build community.</p>
<p>The Mwangi Cultural Center opened as the Afro-American Cultural Center on the lower level of Lilly Hall in 1968 and was used by a variety of student cultural organizations. In 1973 the center was renamed to honor Dr. Ng'endo Mwangi, a member of the class of 1961 and the first female physician in Kenya, whose dedication and service to her community were well known. At the time of Ng'endo's death in 1989, Smith students wrote "We, the Smith students of today, owe Mwangi a great debt for being one of the vanguard of women who broke down racial and gender barriers, thereby making our progress a little easier."</p>

<p>Pan Asians in Action (PAiA) is a support and activist group focused on uniting the Asian/American/Pacific Islander community at Smith College to enact social change. We are committed to learning about social justice, teaching ourselves and others about political issues related to the AAPI community, and fostering inclusivity within our organization. We also wish to work as allies for other social justice causes that affect people not solely related to AAPI identities, in consideration of the intersectionality of oppression. As an activist group, we will host discussions and panels, work towards campaigns on and off campus, and engage with the 5 College AAPI activist community.</p>
<p>Given that approximately a quarter of Smith students identify as Asian/American/Pacific Islander we find that it is necessary to unite and recognize this large and diverse community (South Asian, East Asian, Southeast Asian, Pacific-Islander, Multi-Racial, Multi-Ethnic, Transnational, Adoptee, etc.) while also critically looking at where these identities diverge and intersect through activism and discussion that we had previously not found in other student organizations.</p>

Membership Benefits
Members should either identify as Asian/American/Pacific/Islander and express an interest in working to promote Asian/American/Pacific/Islander activism and community on Smith’s Campus.
Active Membership requires participation in organizing at least one event per semester, participating in discussion, and following the group guidelines and expectations. An active member must attend at least 70% of meetings each semester.
Membership in this organization shall be open to all students currently enrolled at Smith College regardless of race, skin color, faith, religion, spirituality, national/ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender, age, and about the bases outlined in the Veterans Readjustment Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

When Smith College acquired the property in 1923, Mrs. Malbon's (as it was once known) became Park House, named for one of the original trustees of the college, Reverend Edwards Amasa Park.
