During the 2025–26 academic year, Wellesley will celebrate its 150th anniversary with gatherings that bring our community together. These events will honor the College’s legacy of leadership and progress while addressing the ideas, challenges, and opportunities that will shape the next 150 years.
Wellesley 150th Events
Reunion 2025
We were excited to welcome back classes ending in 0 and 5! Alumnae reconnected with classmates and experienced everything new on campus. Activities included class gatherings, faculty lectures, a College update from President Paula Johnson, an alumnae panel celebrating Wellesley at 150, a Commencement Exercise for the Class of 2020, departmental open houses and tours, shared identity group open houses, the Alumnae Parade, and more.
Friends and Family 2025 and 150th Celebration Weekend
We hope you will join us on campus from October 24 to 26 for Friends and Family Weekend 2025! We are in the early stages of planning, but highlights will include concerts, varsity and club sports competitions, presentations, a 150th celebration, and an address from President Paula Johnson.
The Power of Presence: Leadership Across Generations and Borders
In March, more than 180 guests gathered at Asia Society Hong Kong to celebrate Wellesley’s 150th anniversary. President Paula A. Johnson and distinguished alumnae reflected on leadership, community, and Wellesley’s enduring mission to advance gender equity.
Women Leading the Way
Wellesley women have led the way for generations, shaping industries, breaking barriers, and driving change. In spring 2026, alumnae leaders will gather in New York City to address today’s most pressing challenges and explore how Wellesley’s legacy continues to inspire.
