Paula A. Johnson, president of Wellesley College, was among dozens of higher education leaders to sign a statement condemning overreach from the federal government into campus affairs.

Wellesley’s decades-old Scream Tunnel tradition on Marathon Monday is often described as “the best day on campus” by students at the private women’s college, including by Julia Reste ’27.

A group of seniors from Wellesley College said they cheer on the runners every year. This year, they made signs playing on President Trump's new tariffs: "Kiss me before the tariff goes up again."

“The incredible uncertainty in the clean energy sector is leading to a lot of projects being canceled or downsized, or just slowed down,” says environmental studies professor Jay Turner, who leads a team that also tracks the supply chain for clean energy in the US in a database called the Big Green Machine.

Mixed in with the typical "Kiss me" posters, Katherine Li ‘25 gave a nod to current events with her sign that read “Run like you just found out there’s a 200% tariff on walking.”

For the 129th Boston Marathon on April 21, 2025, Mass Live reports on the enthusiasm and fun at Wellesley College’s famous Scream Tunnel.
