In January, 22 Wellesley alumnae and their guests attended what were most likely the southernmost faculty lectures ever, in Antarctica. A group of the alums and Rachel Stanley, associate professor of chemistry and the Frost Associate Professor in Environmental Science at Wellesley, took advantage of the spectacular view above during an excursion to capture the moment with the Wellesley banner. Pictured are: Zehra Fazal ’05, Olivia Lillich Hilton ’83, Rachel Stanley, Rose Baghdady Ganim ’90, Aliya Khalidi ’07, Joanne Van Cor ’76, Kristina Szilagyi ’09, Erzsi Szilagyi ’04, WCAA Executive Director Kathryn Harvey Mackintosh ’03, Elizabeth Gibbs ’85, and Masako Yamada ’96. To watch Stanley’s lecture about climate change and its effect on Antarctica and how Antarctic ice is a major clue for climate scientists working to understand global warming, visit alum.wellesley.edu/wcaa-presents/facultylectures.
