We hope to establish a strong foundation of inclusion at the Center, which has incldued creating and supporting Students for Intersectional Environmental Justice, composed of studetns from the Frost Center, Botanic Gardens, the Paulson Initiative, and the Envrionmental Studies Department.
Through social media and our weekly newsletter, we hope people will stay connected to environmentally-themed events, academic programming, and employment resources at the College. Sign up here to subscribe to the newsletter!

Students for Intersectional Environmental Justice
The Frost Center for the Environment is host to Students for Intersectional Environmental Justice (SIEJ). The group consists of student representatives from the Frost Center, the Environmental Studies Department, the Botanic Gardens, the Paulson Initiative, and the Office of Sustainability. The group provides paid opportunities for students to work together, along with guidance from faculty/staff, to plan and implement policies and programs that will promote a commitment to intersectional environmental justice. Kayli Hattley is currently serving as staff mentor to SIEJ.
Environmental Alumnae Network
In 2020-2021, the Frost Center for the Environment and the Environmental Studies department collaborated to develop a mentoring program that connects alumnae and current students who have relevant interests, backgrounds or professional goals. This program compliments the Hive (the existing Wellesley Alum platform) but is accessible and specific to students with environmental interests and can connect them to alums with a wide range of experiences that differ from the ES faculty. Mentors and mentees meet remotely at least twice a year and mentors are available as a sounding board for mentees on an as needed / as available basis.
The mentoringr program is currently on pause as we assess how best to partner with Career Education to provide career mentoring for students with environmental interests moving forward. We hope to provide an update on future of the mentoring program by the end of 2022.
