About

Wellesley magazine is a quarterly publication of the Wellesley College Alumnae Association, which has the mission of supporting Wellesley’s strategic goals by connecting alumnae to each other and to the College.

Wellesley strives to capture the vibrancy and diversity of the College community—its academic programs, its faculty and students, its global educational reach—as well as the impact of its alumnae around the world. We hope that all of our alums see themselves reflected in the magazine: young stay-at-home parents and retired schoolteachers as well as CEOs and career diplomats. We also strive to stimulate life-long learning—often tackling subjects of current interest and concern in the world as seem through the lens of Wellesley’s faculty and alumnae experts—and provoke thoughtful discussion among alumnae.

Wellesley exists in both printed and digital form. The award-winning magazine is sent to readers in February, May, July, and November.

Wellesley Policy

One of the objectives of Wellesley, in the best College tradition, is to present interesting, thought-provoking material, even though it may be controversial. Publication of material does not necessarily indicate endorsement of the author’s viewpoint by the magazine, the Alumnae Association, or Wellesley College.

Wellesley magazine reserves the right to edit and, when necessary, revise all material that it accepts for publication. Unsolicited photographs will be published at the discretion of the editor.
