athene's posting to the 
smithalums group on her SSFFS Alumnae mailing list, I just ran across a new community devoted to Medieval Studies at Smith - medievalbabes - although since they only had 2 members as of earlier today, I know they'll happily accept non-Smithies into the group. (I say "they" but really it's "she" - collegecate's the name of the group founder) It's intended for current undergraduates, not graduate students, but my strong suspicion is that they won't mind a graduate major or five loitering around. After all - we can pretend we're older and wiser now! (or something like that)
