“I am the Dean” Katherine Gabel skit, 1985
‘I am the Dean’ starts out with a tribute to Dean Katherine Gabel in her final year as dean. Dean Gable comes into the skit part way through. She looks back and captures a lot of the spirit of student life in the 1980s through humorous (and fictional) statistics.
Therapy Hotline Skit, 1987
In this 1987 skit, a student parodies therapeutic language with skillful wit.
Day in the Life of a Plan B Student, 1989
The 1989 B program skit gives a sense of a day in the life of a student. The B program was a one year MSW for people who had had at least three years of supervised clinical experience prior to coming to Smith. The days at Smith for A and B students were very busy, but the B programs surely packed a lot in 15 months of study.
AIDS Quilt, 1989
This 1989 Smith College School for Social Work skit was a tribute to the national AIDS Quilt effort to remember and show love for those who died of AIDS and to raise awareness of the need for services for persons with HIV+ and AIDs.
“Human Sexuality Course” skit, 1992
This 1992 skit shared an arc of students’ interest and comfort in their “human sexuality” course. Sexuality in all its forms can still be a difficult conversation for beginning social workers.
Graduate Students Experience of Stress, Burnout, and Coping, 1989
Stress and burnout is not a new concern for SSW students. From the very first days, SSW professors who were also psychiatrists and psychologists sometimes served as therapists for students. By the 1980s, though, faculty and therapists had been separated into two different offices.
Blue Slip and the Joy of Finishing a Thesis, 1992
The 1992 Blue Slip skit marks a tradition at Smith College School for Social Work. Students who turned in a completed thesis were give a ‘blue slip’ as a receipt for turning in their work. The blue slip was the invention of Joyce Leamy – who was the person to whom slips were turned in for many years. (Joyce Leamy writes her signature on the big blue slip at the start of the skit.) The enthusiasm of finishing the thesis was evident annually at Smith!
Fred and Jerry Sing to Bridge the Divide between Policy and Practice, 1999
Dr. Jerry Sachs, a member of the resident faculty, and Fred Newdom published a book in 1999 on Activism and Clinical Work. This Smith College School for Social Work 1999 skit addresses the false dichotomy between practice and policy in a humorous way.
Transformations in Admission Standards, Curriculum, and Student Groups
In her oral history about attending SSW in the mid 1980s, Joanne Frustaci said “the racism course” was a standard part of the curriculum and, in her experience, the only class during which race was discussed. How does her experience fit into the history of the SSW curriculum? Explore this page to find out!

Dean Anita Lightburn shares with the Journal her thoughts about the social work profession and her goals for the future of the Smith College School for Social Work.
