As I mentioned in my previous blog post, I strongly encourage all admitted students who are able to visit Wellesley this month to attend Spring Open Campus from April 28 to 29. SOC is a great way to learn about all that Wellesley has to offer as you determine if it is the right place for you. In addition, as was the case in previous years, we’ll be hosting a “Conversations on Diversity [at Wellesley]” Day on Sunday April 27 for all admitted students of color. The Office of Admission has planned lots of fun and informational events and activities to help you make a decision during the three days of SOC. The student body, faculty and staff are excited and look forward to meeting you all so please come if you can! You can read more about the schedule here.
In campus news, it is Election Week at Wellesley College. On April 8th, students will elect the college president (CGP), vice president (CGVP), the secretary/treasurer (CCF), the Chief Justice, the Multicultural Affairs Coordinator (MAC), the Director of On-Campus Affairs (DOOCA), the Student Bursar and the Chair for Political and Legislative Awareness (CPLA Chair) for the 2014-2015 academic year. Election Week at Wellesley is similar to “real elections” in the “real world” in that candidates must write a statement of intent, have a convincing platform, agree to answer students’ questions and attend debates. Election Week is pretty interesting!
Additionally, the Schneider Board of Governors (SBOG) released the lineup of events for this year’s Spring Week. We all look forward to Spring Week because SBOG always plans super fun events – concerts, Block Party, Hoop Rolling and LipSync to name a few. This year, Wellesley will be hosting concerts by Sage the Gemini and Chance the Rapper. In my four years at Wellesley, we welcomed Mackelmore and Ryan Lewis, Big Sean, Ellie Goulding, Major Lazer, Matt & Kim, Turquoise Jeep and Jeremih to campus. Here’s the lineup for this year’s Spring Week:
