<p>Parents-- I agree STRIDE looks like an amazing opportunity at Smith. Each of the
W-LAC’s D has been accepted at offer the work study option with the dollars equal to STRIDE. If D is going to work 7-10 hours a week, I suspect it makes a whole
lot more sense to do so with a prof on a research project then in a dining hall washing
trays or at a front desk answering phones. STRIDE strikes as an impressive academic
opportunity with D and wife looking forward to hearing more about it at Open Campus
on 4/19,20. The STRIDE academic opportunity with its’ possibilities for the future
opening of doors is not lost on D. Thanks for relating your D’s experiences and opinions.</p>
