“Women’s leadership is recognized today as transformative—in families, communities, and nations across the globe. Through the richness of the liberal arts, Wellesley provides young women with an exceptional educational experience and cultivates their ability and determination to make their difference in the world.”

“The mission and educational philosophy of Wellesley College are inextricably linked: to provide a vibrant, intellectually challenging education to women intent on serving their community and influencing their world.”

“Wellesley alums live lives of service and leadership, and are passionately committed to ensuring today’s students and faculty have the resources they need to thrive. I believe in the vital role of women’s education in shaping the leaders of tomorrow, and together we can continue to empower the next generation.”

“Wellesley is both a rigorous institution of learning as well as a home in the best sense of the word, where we value inclusion and belonging and where we work to give every student an equal chance to contribute and be heard.”

“The Wellesley curriculum is carefully built by our faculty, such that our academic program prioritizes adventure, collaboration, and learning with purpose.”

“Wellesley’s educational mission and commitment to meeting 100 percent of calculated need for admitted students are supported by our large endowment, the result of the generosity of generations of alumnae and friends.”

“Our work celebrates the ideas and achievements of Wellesley’s remarkable faculty, students, and alumnae and the many ways they make a difference in the world.”

“Wellesley’s world-renowned faculty of scientists, artists, researchers, and scholars is central to its mission of fostering a community in which all students thrive.”

“Wellesley’s mission of providing an excellent liberal arts education for women who will make a difference in the world has never been more vital.”

“Wellesley prepares our students to navigate an increasingly complex and changing world, helping them to develop a capacity to bridge difference and to work collaboratively and with purpose.”

“We strive to attract and retain diverse, high-caliber faculty and staff members who are deeply engaged in serving our educational mission.”

“Wellesley seeks students who are discovering their agency as scholars, community builders, and changemakers. While they are here, they will develop the toolkit to live lives of consequence that will prepare them to contribute to a global community.”
