Campus Champion“‘Health’ means so much more than ‘physical wellness,’” Cathy Smith said, sharing the characteristic, twinkling smile familiar to countless students. During her 24 years at the College, Smith has spearheaded awareness efforts ranging from tobacco use to sexual assault. Retiring soon as health educator, Smith said she takes special pride in the grief support group she helped start soon after her arrival. “We live in a culture where we say, ‘Death shouldn’t happen,’” Smith said. “But we have a number of students dealing with the death of a loved one.” For caring so much about everyone she has touched, Smith truly will be missed.
