We also hope that many of you will record a StoryCorps interview with a friend, a colleague, a mentor or a mentee during this week. Interviews are self-scheduled and self-administered; please review our instructions and guidance for a great interview. All interviews will be saved at the Library of Congress and the Wellesley College Archives, allowing us to capture stories from our community about how we each have been challenged and changed by this year.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email tanner@wellesley.edu.
