The College commemorated its milestone anniversary with “Wellesley at 150,” held in October 2025 in conjunction with Friends and Family Weekend. Friday’s festivities began with the Alumnae Achievement Awards, which honored Karen Grigsby Bates ’73, Jocelyn Benson ’99, and Sue Wagner ’82, pictured at left with former Young Alumna Trustee Tatiana Ivy Moise ’21. The celebration continued on Saturday with remarks from President Paula A. Johnson and engaging panels featuring the AAA recipients and faculty discussing today’s most pressing challenges. The campus atmosphere was enlivened by student musical performances and a community lunch, College trivia, and nostalgic Wellesley desserts.
