Introduction


In collaboration with the faculty, the Class Deans serve as the central academic advisors for all Wellesley students. Entering students are deaned by the Dean of First-year Students. After the first year, every class is guided through their undergraduate years by one dean from the beginning of their sophomore year through graduation. The three-year tenure of a Class Dean with her class provides systematic overall advising for students, encompassing the range of developmental and academic issues that students confront in the sophomore, junior and senior years. These issues include choosing a major, deciding whether to stay at Wellesley or study abroad in the junior year, connecting the undergraduate liberal arts experience with planning careers, and defining an education in the context of personal and moral development.
