Convocation Speeches

President Walsh
"We trust that you will grow to love this special college as we do – with passion and purpose, and with the sure knowledge that it can be only as strong as we collectively are, only as thoughtful and wise, only as compassionate and caring."

College Government President Lindsey Boylan '06
"We have become independent in action and thought, and yet more appreciative of the insight we gain from one another. We have grappled with troubling world affairs and our own challenges here at Wellesley, yet have continued to prepare ourselves to be active participants in the world."

Dean of the College Andrew Shennan
"...today I feel that I am seeing Wellesley through new eyes. Why? Because for the first time one of my own children has begun that bewildering, nerve-wracking rite of passage known as the college search."
