About WWP

Wellesley believes in women.

And we believe that one of the greatest forces for social change in the world is the education and advancement of women.

As the world’s preeminent college for women, Wellesley has supported and championed women’s intellectual and social development and leadership for over 100 years. The College provides women with an exceptional educational experience and cultivates their ability and determination to make a difference in the world.

Wellesley’s Albright Institute has innovated a new educational model for training women for leadership on a global scale—and Wellesley is setting out to share it with the world. The College seeks to create a network of like-minded institutions around the world and to collaborate to produce more women leaders.

It Starts with the Liberal Arts

Wellesley College and our inaugural partner, Peking University, are premiere educational institutions known for the cultivation of women leaders. Dedicated to a liberal arts approach to education, both schools foster the highest standard of readiness in their graduates, in terms of ability to think, act, and contribute meaningfully and effectively in their chosen areas of interest.

It Results in Women Who Make a Difference in the World

Wellesley alumnae and their contributions in every arena simply illustrate the point, from secretaries of state to award-winning writers, from CEOs to scientific leaders.
