Slater International Association (Current Students)

Slater International Association is a student-run organization formed to address the needs and concerns of Wellesley College's international students regardless of nationality or cultural identity. Each year, we bring a variety of lectures and panel discussions to campus concerning a wide range of international affairs, as well as celebrate cultural events in a variety of ways: dance, film and food However, Slater is not exclusively for international students and we welcome the participation of everyone on campus.

Slater is more than an organization; it is a support organ to be used by all students. We work with the Slater International Center staff, and help bring the following programs and events to the Wellesley College:
