澳门葡京博彩软件对可持续发展和环境正义充满热情. 通过学生组织, they teach their peers about the environment and start initiatives to make our campus more sustainable. They also work with other colleges and groups to work on issues that impact the local community. 

Check the Smith Social Network for an up-to-date list of active student organizations. Take a look below at a few examples of what students have been working on (and how to get involved)!

The Bike Kitchen

The Bike Kitchen is a co-op organization working for bike accessibility for Smithies. 我们努力教育和提供一个多元化的社区. 各种背景的人(尤其是没有经验的人)!)被邀请学习如何拆卸，重建和维护自行车. We believe this encourages biking on campus and empowers students to maintain their bikes on their own. 

在学年期间，我们每周都有开放时间. 明年我们希望举办更多的安全研讨会和维护演示. 

You can reach us at bikes@lfkgw.com 在学年期间.

粮食救援网络(FRN)

FRN works toward reducing systemic food waste at Smith and minimizing the food insecurity of vulnerable communities of Northampton. We collect an average of 100lbs of surplus food from dining halls every day and donate it to Manna Community Kitchen at St. 约翰圣公会教堂. Manna then distributes the food to food insecure community members through their daily meal programs.
