Pamm McNeil ’82

My Wellesley experience spans decades of meaningful connection and growth. As a student leader (1978-1982), I discovered my entrepreneurial spirit while building community. That foundation flourished through my service as class president, club president for both Long Island and Washington, DC, and president of Wellesley Alumnae of African Descent (WAAD). These roles allowed me to bridge generations and geographies, creating spaces where alumnae could thrive together.

My 35+ year friendship with the late economics professor Chip Case exemplifies Wellesley's unique culture—where mentorship transcends the classroom and becomes lifelong kinship. The friendships forged during my student years remain vital today, enriched by bonds formed through alumnae leadership. Wellesley taught me that true education extends beyond graduation, weaving together intellectual rigor, servant leadership, and enduring relationships that continue shaping who I am and how I serve.
