Want to continue receiving the print magazine? Let us know!
As we work to be both eco- and budget-conscious, we are piloting opt-in to print to ensure that we mail the print magazine only to alumnae who wish to receive it. Beginning in fall 2021, the print version of Wellesley magazine will be opt-in for alums who graduated more than five years ago and less than 75 years ago (the classes of 1946–2016).
To opt in and continue receiving the print magazine, please fill out the simple form at alum.wellesley.edu/sendmagazine by Oct. 1 to receive the fall issue.
