About

The Albright Institute fosters integrated and inquisitive learning linked to bold action and service to the world.

Albright Institute Leadership and Staff

The Albright Institute is co-directed by a Program Director and Faculty Director. While the Program Director holds a permanent position, Faculty Directors rotate every several years and are recruited from different departments on Wellesley's campus. This embeds a multidisciplinary approach in our leadership team.
