Jandon Center Community Partners

Who we are

Named in memory of Jane Grossman Cecil '50, the Jandon Center fosters opportunities for Smith students to engage actively with the community and practice responsible citizenship. Along with her husband and life-long partner, Don, Jane was a leading philanthropist, co-founder of the Jandon Center (Jan + Don = Jandon), and a tireless advocate for education. She was a champion of programs designed for meaningful change. We work with community partners to critically engage with theories, data, and experiences to improve interdependant aspects of community health. We initiate, encourage, support, test, and reflect con collaborative strategies and projects.
