Women Awarded Grants for Oral History Projects (USA)

Two Smith alumnae are recipients of this year’s Helen Gurley Brown Magic Grants, which provide funding for innovative projects by Smith Ada Comstock Scholars and recent program alumnae.  Tanya Pearson ’16 and Meridith Baier ’14 will use the grants to support groundbreaking oral history projects.  Established at Smith in 2011 by the late writer and editor Helen Gurley Brown, who led Cosmopolitan magazine for more than three decades, the Magic Grant program honors Brown’s commitment to educating women with diverse life experiences through the Ada Comstock Scholars Program for nontraditional-aged students.  Read about the projects here.
