There’s a party for Smith College prospects in the Los Angeles area this Sunday from 3-5pm. (If you’re in the LA area and are interested and haven’t received an invite, please contact me via PM and I’ll get you the info so you can attend.)

I’ve come to understand that the strength and activity level of the local Smith clubs varies wildly but here in LA they’re very large, very active.

They often have a guest professor at these events and this Sunday’s event will include Mahnaz Mahdavi, professor of Economics. My D was just wild about her and she wasn’t even an Econ major; one of D’s best friends also goes on about her and in fact friend’s mother is going to hear Mahnaz speak at another event on Saturday.

Mahnaz is both a brilliant professor and very elegant & stylish in her personal presentation. She’s also involved and engaged…she’s the one who started Smith’s “Women in Finance” program. A great model for Smith College.
