Smith pins on a new Homecoming tradition

Alumni who attended the Smith Homecoming Alumni Brunch last October found something special pinned to their name tags at the registration desk. The Development and Alumni Engagement team at Smith have launched a line of reunion lapel pins to be given to alumni at Homecoming.

The initiative aims to facilitate alumni connections, enhance the school’s alumni community and spread the Smith brand around the globe. “Our hope is that it will become a tradition, that alumni will come back for them each year, and wear the pins with pride beyond Homecoming weekend and into the business world,” says Tyler Forkes, Director of Alumni Engagement and Reunion Giving.

Exclusive to Smith Homecoming, the pins come in four colours: pewter for alumni of any graduating year; bronze for ten-year alumni; silver for 25-year; and gold for those in the Tricolour Guard (50-year alumni and up).
