Dear Wellesley College Alumnae:

As you know, the Alumnae Achievement Award is the highest honor Wellesley bestows on alumnae. Historically, the beautiful award ceremony has been held in February, which meant that only the recipients’ friends and family, students, and local alumnae could attend. We are therefore very pleased to announce that the Alumnae Achievement Award ceremony will now be an integral part of October’s combined Alumnae Leadership Council (ALC), Friends & Family, and Athletics Hall of Fame weekend.

This change means that more of the Wellesley community will be able to witness distinguished alumnae as they share with students the story of Wellesley’s impact on their life journeys. As those who have seen the award ceremony know, it is truly moving and awe-inspiring. Now, more alumnae, parents, and students can be a part of it. I cannot imagine a more profound way to demonstrate Wellesley’s value to parents, nor a more affirming way to connect our alumnae to the College. So, if you have the opportunity to come to Wellesley next fall for ALC or Friends & Family weekend, please mark your calendar for Oct. 14–16, and prepare to be exhilarated.

Georgia Murphy Johnson ’75, president
