Please change:

| alma_mater=Harvard University

to:

| alma_mater=Cleveland State University

because she has her bachelors degree from Cleveland State University. She attended a 3-week training program at Harvard. Program participants do not receive college credit or grades, so it is in accurate to list "Harvard" as her alma mater. Here are a list of sources that confirm her true educational background as "Cleveland State" including references from Ohio's largest newspaper:

(1) http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Shirley_Smith (2) http://votesmart.org/candidate/biography/23315 (3) "Crime, drugs targeted by Ward 10 Candidates", The Plain Dealer (newspaper), Cleveland, Ohio, Page C6, Friday, September 17, 1993 (4) "Incumbent finds herself in virtually new district", The Plain Dealer (newspaper), Cleveland, Ohio, Page B4, Monday, April 22, 2002
