the Smith curriculum and to develop students’ essential capacities.
The product of two years of intensive work and the engagement of
thousands of alumnae, faculty, staff, and students, The Smith Design
for Learning: A Plan to Reimagine a Liberal Arts Education, identifies
priority areas—among them international studies, environmental sustainability, and community engagement—for significant investment over the coming decade. Christ graduated
with honors from Douglass College and received her doctorate from Yale University. As
president, she has continued to teach, offering seminars on science and literature and on
the arts. In 2004 she was named a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and
in 2007, Yale University Graduate school presented her with its highest honor, the Wilbur Lucius Cross Medal in recognition of her distinguished achievements in scholarship, teaching,
academic administration and public service.,
