To use your VOICE takes Vision of a future made better and Ownership of your place in the world; it takes a commitment to Inclusivity and a sense of Community; and it requires that you center Equity in all that you do, because, after all, everyone has a VOICE to be heard.

- When choosing a college, you are choosing an intellectual community and a place where you believe that you can live, learn, and flourish. We know that there are more than 100 reasons to choose Wellesley, but it's a good place to start. Visit the Wellesley 100 and select two items that attract, inspire, or celebrate what you would bring to our community. Have fun! Use this opportunity to reflect personally on what items appeal to you most and why.
- One of the hallmarks of a Wellesley education is empowering students to use their individual and collective voice to effect meaningful change in the world.
