Bringing a New Year with Its Wide-Open Potential

A love of place unites all who have spent time at Wellesley, whether they favor tromping through the arboretum in L.L. Bean boots or discovering the wonders of hot apple cider for the first time, far from a Southern Hemisphere home. This year we interviewed a random selection of students about Wellesley in the winter and their thoughts as winter brings a new year to campus.

What we found—no surprise—was that every Wellesley woman we spoke to was articulate and clear-eyed in her appreciation of the beauties and rigors of the present as well as the promise and excitement of the future.

We send their animated views to you, along with warmest Wellesley wishes for a happy new year!
