Asian Baptist Student Koinonia (website)

Awaken the Dawn (website)

Awaken the Dawn was founded by four Wellesley students in 1991 who wanted to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to the campus through song. Since then, the group has grown and changed quite a bit, often collaborating with other collegiate Christian a capella groups.  Every Spring Break, Awaken the Dawn goes on tour to participate in additional community service activities and perform in various venues, including Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and Philadelphia.
