The Paulson Initiative is cultivating a community of students, faculty, and staff who are engaging with the landscape in innovative, interdisciplinary, intellectual and inspiring ways.
We are inspiring and preparing Wellesley College students across disciplines to value sense of place and connection to nature in order to enrich their academic experience, well-being, and community, and become change agents who cultivate sustainable landscapes and communities around the globe.
Students can take part in interdisciplinary science research programs using the campus as a living laboratory, can engage with the Wellesley College Archives to understand how history informs the present landscape, can take literary walks on campus, listen to “plein air” music performed by fellow students, staff, and faculty while enjoying a campfire, and take part in a writing workshop by renowned authors such as Terry Tempest Williams.
