00:00:00.708 --> 00:00:04.250
Hi, I'm Deb Shaver, Dean of Admission at Smith.

00:00:04.250 --> 00:00:07.390
The class is set, we chose you.

00:00:07.390 --> 00:00:10.720
Congratulations, you're a Smithie now.

00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:15.655
(chattering)

00:00:15.655 --> 00:00:21.930
There's this really special intimacy about being part

00:00:21.930 --> 00:00:23.602
of this community.

00:00:23.602 --> 00:00:26.421
The community is small, small enough to really

00:00:26.421 --> 00:00:30.423
get to know people, both peers and professors.

00:00:30.423 --> 00:00:32.416
I'm Randy Bartlett, I'm a Professor of Economics

00:00:32.416 --> 00:00:33.601
here at Smith.

00:00:33.601 --> 00:00:34.997
I do know this place pretty well.

00:00:34.997 --> 00:00:37.936
I've figured out I've had about 6000, 7000 Smithies

00:00:37.936 --> 00:00:40.670
go through my classroom doors.

00:00:40.670 --> 00:00:42.631
At the time, known everyone by name,

00:00:42.631 --> 00:00:44.715
whether I could pull it off now, I'm not sure.
