Welcome to the Smith Alumnae Online Community!

Logging in for the first time

• There are two ways to log into the community:
• Visit alumnae.smith.edu and navigate to the brown box marked

“Online Alumnae Community.”

• Or, go directly to the login page website at

smith.force.com/alumnae/login.

• If this is your first time logging in, you’ll need to look up your username.
• Visit the Alumnae Relations website and click on the link marked

“Reset Password or Find Username”

• Or, click on “Forgot Password” below the “username” and

“password” fields.

Homepage features

• The community homepage provides access to:
• Links to different areas of the college pertaining to alumnae

(Reunion, giving to Smith, online library access, etc.)

• Important notices or messages
• The use of single sign-on through Facebook or LinkedIn
• The directory search
• Chatter groups
• A Q&A section
• Your profile, where you can update your contact and employment

information, your email preferences, and add additional Smith clubs

Tips for performing a directory search

• Start with a broad search then narrow it down
• Use a wildcard ( * ) if you don’t have the exact spelling or terminology
• Any search will be limited to 100 results
• If you change your search criteria, be sure to click the “Reset” button at

the bottom before doing so. This is especially imperative when using a browser other than Chrome.

• Some profiles have been marked private by the alumna – you won’t be

able to click on their profile

THANK YOU!
