Susan and Donald Newhouse
Center for the Humanities


The Susan and Donald Newhouse Center for the Humanities at Wellesley College was established by a generous gift from Susan and Donald Newhouse in 2004. The Newhouse Center aims to enrich the intellectual life of the Wellesley College community and, in particular, to promote excellence and innovation in humanistic studies. When renovations are completed in 2006, the Newhouse Center will occupy a central space in the Wellesley campus and will host eight to twelve resident fellows each year—post-doctoral fellows, Wellesley faculty members on sabbatical, and visiting scholars from other institutions.
