Voices of Support
“Wellesley alumnae have always been a unique strength of the College. Our presence and voice in the world support Wellesley and subsequent generations. The proposed changes to the governance structure reflect the strategic importance of alumnae to Wellesley and help ensure meaningful engagement with the College. These changes recognize that our connections to and support of each other are lifelong benefits of a Wellesley education. This is the right next step for the College and our alumnae now.”

“With this merger, we will continue to fulfill our mission of “extend[ing] the helpful associations of student life, and … maintain[ing] such relations to the College that effectively aid her in her upbuilding and strengthening.” The new model will allow us to integrate alumnae into the College’s structure and ensure the longevity and continuity of our role, not only at the College, but also in the world beyond.”

“We should always look for opportunities to simplify, streamline, and upgrade. The merger will reduce operational inefficiencies so that the WCAA will have additional capacity to increase alumnae engagement and programming. It is a strategic next step for the WCAA, the College, and our overall community.”
