When Domenica Lewis ’88 looks back on London Calling 2.0, the first international launch of the Campaign to advance the Wellesley  Effect, she remembers “the sparkle.” The President of the Wellesley Club UK isn’t talking about sequins and bling—this wasn’t a gala evening event.

Alan Schechter, professor of politics, emeritus, joined a group of alumnae on stage in a discussion on “Politics, Civic Action, and Personal Impact”—where the conversation ranged from the U.S. presidential election to the impact of angel investors. A second panel focused on “Feminism and the Image of Women in the 21st Century.”
