My Student Orgs

Hi Blog! I know an aspect of Wellesley that I am sure many prospective students are curious about is student clubs on campus. Today, I want to describe the main student organizations, or clubs, that I am involved with on campus: WZLY WZLY is Wellesley’s student radio and also reportedly the largest student organization at Wellesley by membership.

Spring Courses… Already?!

Hi all, As I sit down to plan out my schedule for the upcoming spring semester, I’m hit with a whirlwind of emotions—mainly excitement, with a bit of bittersweet realization mixed in.

Tanner AND Halloweekend!??

Hello Blog, It’s a busy time here at Wellesley! Tuesday was the Tanner Conference, one of the two Wellesley-hosted conferences where students can present on the cool work they’re doing.

Facing Setbacks and Pushing Ahead

Building Independence

Happy Halloween! I hope everyone has a fun and safe day. Today, I want to reflect on something not-so-spooky: building independence in college. Like many, coming to Wellesley is my first time fully living away from home. I live in Illinois, so I am a couple states away from my family. Up until Wellesley, I had only been away from…
