Class Officers 2025-2030
Nancy Charbonneau Case, AC '11J President Nancy majored in English Literature at Smith and you can still find her on campus, working for Smith Office for the Arts (SOFA) and for a new Pre-College Summer Program, Knowledge for Freedom. During a Praxis Internship, she fell in love with copyediting and worked for years as a freelance copyeditor and content writer. But one of her most fulfilling projects yet was her stint in the nonprofit thrift shop world where she helped create the Cancer Connection Thrift Shop in Northampton. Nancy has lived and worked in Northampton for decades and is a REALTOR® with William Raveis Amherst/Northampton. She loves literary fiction, baseball, and coffee and is on the Dean’s Beans Organic Coffee Company’s communications team. Her gratitude to Smith for the Ada Comstock Program and her admiration of Adas and their stories is what keeps her involved and passionate. Nancy is a proud member of the Smithies Who Love Cats Facebook group.
Teresa Hacunda AC'87 Fund Team Coordinator Teresa came to the Program while working with Ellie Rothman in the 1980s, totally inspired by Ada Comstock students and encouraged by them to apply. She majored in economics and spent her senior year abroad at the LSE. Teresa has sought out Smith Clubs wherever she’s resided, in England, the Bay Area of CA, Providence, and for the third time, in Northampton. She has served as Nominating Committee Chair and thus on the Alumnae Association of Smith College Board. Now retired from a career in global marketing and then corporate philanthropy, she volunteers as Treasurer of the Smith Students’ Aid Society (SSAS) that supports non-tuition financial grants for current Smith students.
Dianne Jester AC '16 Secretary Dianne majored in American Studies and Archive Management. She was an intern in the Smith Admissions Office and was honored to serve on the Ada class cabinet and as the 2015 class president. A highlight of her Smith experience was her Archive capstone project: The 40 Year History of the Ada Comstock Program. After Smith, Dianne completed her Master’s in Education. She currently resides in Northampton and advises graduate students at the Isenberg School of Management. She also teaches composition to first-year college students.
Sarah Goulter-Dunn AC '11 Digital Media Coordinator I came to Smith in 2009, moving from Seattle, WA with my wife and cat. I worked in Admissions as the Ada Recruitment officer, at the Dean's Office as the Ada Coordinator, and I had the honor of representing our class as the Co-President in 2010-2011. Additionally, I was the Ada Ambassador for our first reunion in 2010! After graduation, I joined Teach for America and I am now beginning my 14th year of teaching Special Education. In 2017, we moved back to the Seattle area and have been enjoying the lovely PNW being our home again.
Erin Molloy, AC ’09 Reunion Chair During her time at Smith, Erin became fascinated with the untold histories of women in America. While double-majoring in History and the Study of Women and Gender, Erin worked as an intern in the Sophia Smith Collection, helping process the collections of 20th century women activists, including Loretta Ross and Joan E. Biren (JEB). Both her academic studies and archival experience led her to pursue a Masters in Public History, and she is currentlyABD in her PhD history program. Erin served as Ada Class Co-President from 2007-2008, and was an active cabinet member in Ada organizations Smith Kids Connection and Adas Helping Adas. She currently works at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
Jennifer Williams, AC '06 Reunion Chair Jennifer was a Psychology major at Smith from 2002 – 2006 and served on the class cabinet in various roles as well as founding Adas Helping Adas and coordinating a campus-wide awareness raising campaign to demystify the Ada program to traditional students, faculty, and staff. Since graduating, Jennifer has served three terms on the Ada Alumnae Class Cabinet in various roles, and is now an Advisory Council member. Outside of volunteering as an Ada alum, Jennifer works in the non-profit sector in communications and fundraising. In her "spare" time, she can be found in her art studio.
