Williamson ’69, President of the Wellesley College Alumnae Association, then read the citations, and President Bottomly presented them with their custom-made pins. In each of their heartfelt acceptance speeches, they spoke about their amazing careers and the common theme of first being inspired at Wellesley. |
| “A Wellesley education prepares students for success in the world, no matter the path they choose. This year’s Alumnae Achievement Award recipients represent success amid a wonderful diversity of experiences and disciplines,” said H.
