Suggest a Profile for Class Notes
If
you know of a Wellesley alumna whose life or recent
experiences would make an interesting story, let Wellesley know!
Ideas for profiles on alumnae whose class year is 1939
or earlier are particularly welcome. Wellesley also
strives to represent a wide array of ethnic and national
groups in the profiles.
What Is a Profile?
Mini
profiles are news flashes. They appear in small
boxes in the "Class Notes" section. Minis are written
by magazine staff members and tend to focus on
awards or specific professional or volunteer accomplishments.
Special
profiles cover alumnae stories in more depth.
They appear in larger boxes in the "Class Notes" section.
Subjects
of specials may have any kind of background. In the past, Wellesley has
profiled a caregiver, an avocado farmer, a volunteer salamander
rescuer, a safety officer in a meat-packaging plant, a ballroom
dancer, and a variety of entrepreneurs, among many others.
Specials are generally written by magazine staff members, but class secretaries
occasionally write them, as well. Alumnae should not write specials about themselves.
Wellesley does not print profiles of deceased alumnae.
Suggest
a profile. In subject line, please write "Profile
Suggestion. "
