Exhibit: "The Bell Jars: Lyman Conservatory and Sylvia Plath’s Botanical Imagination"

September 15, 2023 through June 28, 2024 at Smith College Botanical Gardens, Northampton, MA

"The Bell Jars: Lyman Conservatory and Sylvia Plath’s Botanical Imagination tells this story, shedding new light on Plath’s life and work while also examining the power of interspecies encounters between people and plants. Using archival materials and Plath’s literary work as a guide, this exhibit invites visitors to inhabit Lyman as Plath once did. Cross-pollinating the humanities and natural sciences, we hope to examine Plath’s botanical imagination and Lyman’s role in cultivating it."

2022: A Year in Review

First of all, happy holidays! I finished up my fall 2022 semester four days ago and it’s only now hitting me that I have just one semester of college left. Furthermore, it’s totally wild realizing that 2023 (my graduation year) is literally beginning in just a week’s time. Like with so many things in life, this is a bit bittersweet. For starters, I’m so so excited to “start my real life”. At the time time, I’m preemptively sad to be leaving Smith and the wonderful friends I’ve made. 

Some keywords relevant to my 2022 include rock climbing and OneNote. In January of 2022, I wrote one of my all-time favorite blog posts all about how I use Microsoft OneNote as a student. (Beyond being a personal favorite, this was also my most popular post of the year and third most popular overall). In the future, I hope to write a post about how I used OneNote to organize my personal notes (guitar chords, recipes, etc.). In the spring 2022 semester, I finished my computer science major requirements and took my first graduate-level course.

I spent my summer in Seattle working as a software engineering intern at Microsoft. (As for why OneNote is one of my keywords for the year, I worked on the OneNote team). Through my intern project, I learned TypeScript, React, and Redux. If you are curious to read more about my intern experience, here are my day in the life and what’s in my backpack posts. In addition to work (which I do actually enjoy), I also got to do “fun activities” during the work day including playing games, painting, and a waterway cruise. Outside of work, but paid for by Microsoft I got to attend a soccer game, a baseball game, and a whale watch. For fun photos of these activities, click here. In addition to these intern-specific perks and benefits, I also I was able to boulder weekly at Seattle Bouldering Project and invest in rock climbing gear through Microsoft’s Perks+ benefit.  

While initially nervous about being responsible for all of my meals, I discovered a passion for meal planning and genuinely enjoyed the meals I cooked for myself. I also became increasingly interested in personal finance. If interested, you can check out my  updated expense tracking spreadsheet. 

In early August I turned 21 and got a return offer to work at Microsoft as a full-time software engineer on the OneNote team. By the end of the month, I’d signed my offer letter and returned to Smith for my senior year. 

During my fall 2022 semester, I spent a lot of time working on my senior capstone design project. Outside of regular academic courses (in the engineering and computer science departments), I also took emergency care (ESS 107), rock climbing (ESS 940ra), and joined the Chinese Music Ensemble (MUS 960). Highlights of this semester include time spent with friends and the three outdoor climbing trips I went on with the Smith Outdoor Adventure Program. 

This past semester I also got to try a few new-to-me Northampton food locations including Thai Garden, T. Roots, Ana Bandeira Chocolates Cafe, Pasta E Basta (technically in Amherst), and Fitzwilly's. I would particularly recommend the chicken pad Thai at Thai Garden and pork chow fun at T. Roots. Returning to the rock-climbing theme, for Christmas, my dad got me some more rock-climbing gear (including a Grigri belay device)! Pictured below is a needle-felted snowman that I made for my parents last week during a finals study break.

Smith College Bulb Show. This years 'theme' was 'The Bell Jar' by Sylvia Plath, a Smith Alumna.

[the-garbanzo-annex-jr]

by Dion J. Pierre

Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts responded to recent antisemitic incidents on campus by condemning “Islamophobia” and pledging to review an anti-Zionist group’s demand that the school adopt the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.

Late last month, someone graffitied a swastika on campus and stole several mezuzahs, small parchment scrolls containing Hebrew verses from the Torah that members of the Jewish community fix to their doorposts. The Daily Wire first reported the story on X/Twitter.

The school’s president, Sarah Willie-LeBreton, addressed the incidents in a letter to the campus community last week. She proclaimed that there is “no place for antisemitism, Islamophobia, or any form of hate at Smith College,” demonstrating what higher education experts have described as a reluctance on the part of university presidents to address antisemitism as a standalone problem.

Willie-LeBreton continued, listing actions the college is taking in response to the incidents, including “considering  a divestment request” which was proposed by the anti-Zionist campus club Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). According to SJP, the school has already acceded to their demand that products sold by Sabra Dipping Company, LLC, owned by PepsiCo and the Israeli food manufacturer Strauss Group Ltd., be banned from campus. The group has repeatedly vowed to target Smith’s endowment, hoping to force the school to divest from companies that conduct business in or with Israel.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has noted in numerous reports and public letters that SJP is responsible for terrorizing Jewish college students.

On Tuesday, nonprofit leaders and academics castigated Willie-LeBreton’s statement, arguing that it betrayed her indifference to anti-Jewish hatred.

“I think it’s time to say that when you respond to a specifically antisemitic incident by condemning antisemitismandislamophobia [sic], you have exacerbated the original antisemitism by not taking seriously what happened, and instead placating antisemites who think that addressing antisemitism as such is problematic,” George Mason University law professor David Bernstein said on X. “But this one is even worse than usual, by noting that Smith is considering a request to divest from Israel, as if that’s somehow a proper response to an antisemitic incident as opposed to encouraging antisemitism.”

Hussain Abdul-Hussain of, Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a think tank based in Washington DC, challenged the college to cite one example of anti-Muslim conduct, and the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) on Campus denounced Willie-LeBreton’s response as “irresponsible and dangerous.” Other users weighed in, calling Smith College “beyond parody” and an “utter failure.”

Smith College did not respond to a request for comment for this story.

The school, a small liberal college for women, is not the only higher education institution that has subtly accused Jewish students of engaging in acts of discrimination of which anti-Zionists are guilty.

On Monday, after Jewish students at Tufts University were spit on and called antisemitic epithets during a student government session held to consider passing four BDS resolutions, university spokesperson Patrick Collins said “Islamophobic words” are entirely unacceptable. By chance, three reporters from The Tufts Daily who were present for the session did not record overhearing any utterances of anti-Muslim rhetoric.

Similar statements have been issued since Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre across southern Israel, which was followed by a surge of antisemitic incidents on US college campuses.

In November, the English Department of the University of Colorado-Boulder proclaimed, “We stand against Islamophobia and antisemitism.” Days later, California State University said that “deplorable acts” of “antisemitism and Islamophobia” had taken place “on college campuses across the country,” without citing specific incidents of anti-Muslim discrimination.

Since Oct. 7, anti-Zionists have been accused of beating up, spitting on, and using antisemitic slurs against Jewish, Israeli, and pro-Israel students. Such behavior has been the subject of numerous civil rights complaints and lawsuits. Anti-Zionist student groups have in turn accused pro-Israel students of Islamophobia, citing instances in which anti-Israel activists have been punished for breaking rules, promoting hate speech, or times when they were denounced for supporting terrorism.
