Another successful tabling event in the books for Smith Undergraduate Student Association (SUSA)! On Monday, SUSA came out to the employer of the day table to help students destress and relax as they get through midterms and approach spring break.?Even Patrick Star stopped by to say hello and chat with students! Students were encouraged to leave positive messages and had the chance to spin the wheel for a prize! From mini knick knacks to macarons there was a special prize to brighten everyone's day. It was a pleasure to have SweetsbyCaroline, LLC, join us for the event and share her amazing baked goods with Smith. Caroline Ta graduated from Smith in 2021 with a degree in Marketing and Supply Chain Management and a minor in Technology Entrepreneurship. Caroline explained that her time at Smith helped her build confidence in herself and her business. It pushed her to challenge herself and brought so many amazing opportunities and resources. Being surrounded by hard working and aspiring entrepreneurs inspired her to continue her business journey. We are so proud of everything she has accomplished! A special shout out to the SUSA team for their amazing work in bringing this event together and for their continuous support to the student body. Good luck on midterms, Terps!?
