As we mark the 150th anniversary of Wellesley College, we invite the entire community to join in a year of reflection, celebration, and impact. Our commemorative book, Now & Ever: 150 Years of Making a Difference, honors the voices and values that have shaped Wellesley across generations. But the story doesn’t end there.
This is also a call to action. Whether you’re giving back through the Sed Ministrare service challenge, participating in one of the creative projects supported by the 150th Community Fund, or sharing your own Wellesley experience, your engagement brings our legacy to life. Together, we’ll celebrate where we’ve been and imagine what’s next.
