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. I am…
The Week Before Thanksgiving Break: Anticipation and the Promise of Rest
Hi all, As the days tick down to Thanksgiving break, there’s a palpable buzz in the air. Conversations around campus are filled with travel plans, family traditions, and favorite holiday dishes.

Spring Courses… Already?!

Wellesley’s main library, Clapp Library, is currently under renovation and…

Travel Diary
Hey everyone! By the time I am back on Wellesley soil you might get to know Scotland (and its neighbours?) rather well if you stick with me. I have had the opportunity to explore around Wellesley—New Hampshire, Boston, NYC, etc. Now though, I am definitely traveling a lot more. I think that that’s a very big part of the study…
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. Typically, people talk about their summer experiential learning experiences, so I gave a Tanner on my experience doing research at Caltech. It’s a really fun day because classes are canceled…
Facing Setbacks and Pushing Ahead

While minor injuries can be frustrating setbacks, they don’t have to derail your progress. Here’s how to stay positive and make the most of your recovery time…
