Class of 1980 40Th Year Wellesley College WellesleyClass College of Class1980 of 1980 Record Book th Record40 year Book 40th Year Dear Members of the Class of 1980: Whenever or wherever I meet with alumnae, they tell me about the profound and lifelong friendships they forged at Wellesley—and how powerful it is to come together at reunion to see each other and celebrate our rich traditions together. Your class’s record book is a testament to the lasting relationships that make this community so special and strong, enlivening our collective and individual memories of this place we love, and setting a joyous tone for reunion. By sharing your interests and accomplishments through your record book, you breathe new life into ongoing conversations and relationships and open fresh pathways for friendship. Each of these individual narratives tell an essential part of a larger, collective story. Taken together, they demonstrate the connection and compassion central to this community that stretches across decades and around the globe. It is this enduring spirit that animates Wellesley’s remarkable network—the most remarkable women’s network in the world. You, and the entire alumnae community, are deeply inspiring. You are invested in the future of the College and in the future of today’s students—shaping their potential as women who will make their difference in the world. It is a privilege to be among such an extraordinary and dedicated community of women. I am so disappointed we were not able to host reunion this year for the Class of 1980. The weekend is one of my favorite times on campus, and a perennial reminder that the bonds of Wellesley transcend time and place. This pandemic is testing our community in ways we could not have imagined. Yet, time and time again, I am seeing our community rise to the challenge, displaying countless acts of resilience in ways large and small. Such acts are proof that Wellesley is much more than a place. At its core, Wellesley is a community—a community of learning, of caring, and of belonging. I sincerely wish good health to you, your family, and your loved ones. Best wishes, Paula A. Johnson 106 Central Street, Wellesley, MA 02481 CLASS OF 1980 August 2020 Dear Classmates, What a year it’s been. I’m not sure anything in our lifetimes will quite compare to the global impact of COVID-19...or at least I hope not. With the cancellation of this year’s on-campus reunion, our Class Record Book took on even greater significance in keeping us connected, and I cannot thank Elisa Emperor Crum and Barbara Paxton enough for their leadership of this project. As I depart the role of class president, I want to thank my classmates for giving me the opportunity to serve you for the past five years, along with a dream team of fellow officers: Jane Karas (V.P.), Bonnie Glober (Secretary) and Mary Flannery (Treasurer). I will continue as reunion chair, in case the College decides to move forward with a physical reunion on campus in 2021. It is my great pleasure to introduce the class officer slate for 2020-2025 and thank the Nominating Committee, chaired by Marivic Mabanag, for their efforts. President: Lottchen Shivers Vice President: Lisa Blank Braun Secretary: Nancy Buck McCormick Treasurer: Mary Flannery Annual Giving Rep: TBD Take care, mask up and be well, Irena Choi Stern [email protected] ANDERSON, BERYL D. Name in 1980: Beryl D. Anderson Name now: Beryl D. Anderson, JD Preferred email: [email protected] Today, 6/4/2020 we are in a global pandemic with COVID 19 and no vaccines. Since my Wellesley College graduation in May 1980, the world has changed so much. However, in some ways the issues are still the same. I am writing this on the eve of the George Floyd’s Memorial service in Minneapolis. Over 400 years African Americans have experienced not only Police Brutality, but so much more. As a Wellesley Washington Intern, I worked in the Justice Dept-Civil Rights Division. Police Brutality was one focus of my summer projects. We have not moved far from that time either. Senior year I wrote with others a musical called “IYAM” which was produced at Wellesley and involved many African American students from Wellesley, MIT, Harvard and Berklee School of Music. The script is archived at Wellesley’s library. “IYAM” spoke to the stereotypes about African Americans and the experience of students at Wellesley. It was performed during Alumnae Weekend & Alumnae were struck that some issues were the same as when they were students. So, I remind myself looking back 40 years, Keep God First! Believe in yourself! Keep advocating! Change can be incremental! Never Give Up! Reach for the stars! After Wellesley & UVA Law School I worked with U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Leon Higginbotham. I have had an interesting path including serving as Special Assistant to Hampton Univ President, William Harvey. I’ve also served as: * National TV Anchor(Host) & Producer covering the Supreme Ct & legal issues at the White House & Congress; * U.S. Supreme Ct Press Corp member, * Director of International Communications for Rosa Parks, * Ohio Deputy Secretary of State, *3 term City Councilwoman, *Area Commissioner,*Community & Board volunteer My family is my greatest joy. My husband is Marvin West. We have a teenage daughter who just starred as Belle in Beauty & the Beast. We share our love for music in Church & as musicians in the New Albany Symphony & Chorus. Together our family strives to be the change we wish to see in the world! APPERSON, MELISSA Name in 1980/Now: Melissa Apperson Spouse/Partner: Steven Bloomfield Children/Grandchildren: Emma Bloomfield, Henry Bloomfield, Alberto Means (son-in- law) Grandchild: Gwendolyn Means (age 2) Preferred address and email: 96 Bowen St, Providence, RI 02906; [email protected] ; Greetings, classmates! What a keen disappointment, not being able to gather together in June. Warm thoughts and best wishes to all. I’m writing from Little Compton, RI, where my family has been renting a house for the last few weeks. Manhattanites Emma, Alberto and Gwendolyn came to RI in March and will be here through the summer. Henry joined us last week, also from Manhattan. For the first two months of our sudden cohabitation, we lived in Steve’s and my small condominium in Providence. The extra space here in Little Compton, both inside and out, has been restorative. The peacefulness of this place, all meadows and stone walls, old houses and ocean views, is, to me, unparalleled. The chance to spend so much time with our family, even under such difficult circumstances, is truly a blessing. My return to regular caregiving (my role while the others work remotely), while exhausting at times, has given me a renewed sense of purpose, much joy, and a closeness to Gwendolyn that thrills me. Experiencing each day through the sensibilities of a two year old has been a distraction from and a certain antidote to feelings of anxiety and sadness brought on by the terrible state of the world. Four years ago Steve and I moved from Concord, MA, our home of 30 years, to Providence. It wasn’t a move we were seeking, but it seemed prudent given Steve’s new employment at Brown. Although there’s much to admire and respect about Providence, it was a difficult transition after all those years in Concord, a town we love deeply for its beauty and history (its and our own). We’ve made our peace with Providence, though, and we appreciate the ease with which we can visit the coast and this special small town (not Concord, but close!). I have had more time to work on poetry and still some success in publishing (much more before the pandemic). And we’re not so far from Concord after all. I’ve continued to sing in my women’s chorus there, very much worth the drive to and fro on congested I-95. My community of friends is largely in Massachusetts, so I’m glad to be still living in New England. I used to take regular walks around Lake Waban and hope it won’t be too long before I can do that again. For those of you who haven’t been to campus in a while: it’s as glorious and embracing as ever.

  • 5A Few Bold Institutions
    THE FIVE COLLEGE CONSORTIUM A few bold 5institutions In 1965, the Pioneer Valley’s four colleges, 1. Amherst College, 2. Mount Holyoke College, 3. Smith College, and the 4. University of Massachusetts Amherst, were experimenting with innovative ideas in higher education. One of those ideas was 5. Hampshire College, a radical student-centered model. The big idea, though, was sharing resources through an inter-college consortium. So what does that mean now? Your resources are multiplied by five. You can take classes, borrow books, play club sports, eat food, join clubs, and attend events at the other four campuses. You’ll make friends all across the Pioneer Valley. And for a college where students create their own programs of study, this is especially awesome. 3 WHO WE ARE The (really, really) 4,600+ big picture cross registrations for classes this year 30,000 undergraduate students Hampshire College Amherst College Mount Holyoke College foreign- 2,200+ Smith College 4 language faculty members UMass Amherst Five College majors: 70+ offerings Architectural Studies 5 Astronomy campuses Dance Film Studies 900+ student groups 9 million volumes within the Five College Library System 6 average number of 75+ courses Hampshire 17 intercollegiate students take in the certificate programs sports teams consortium over their four years 4 5 In addition to promoting each institution’s majors and programs, Five Colleges, Inc. sponsors learning centers, collaborative programs, additional certifications, and accelerated master’s programs.

    Central Records (Registrar) 893 West Street | Amherst, MA 01002 | 413.559.5421 | f 413.559.5736 | [email protected] | hampshire.edu/centralrecords Transcript Explanation and Key Hampshire College is a private four-year liberal arts college located in Western Massachusetts, distinguished among colleges for its non- traditional academic program designed to support students in pursuing a personalized program of study. Students progress through a three-tiered system of divisions rather than the traditional freshman through senior levels. Division I is Hampshire’s first year program, designed to introduce students to a variety of liberal arts study areas. Division II is the middle two years of the education in which students complete a self-designed concentration of studies. In Division III, the final year, students undertake an extensive independent project of their own design. In both Division II and III, students work under the supervision of a two-person faculty committee. Hampshire College students receive narrative evaluations in lieu of grades for successfully completed courses. Upon completion of each Division, they also receive a comprehensive narrative evaluation of their work from the chairperson of their faculty committee. (Transfer students do not receive a Division I evaluation.) The Hampshire transcript consists primarily of these evaluations, but may also include documentation for study away from campus, internships, and other educational activities. Because of Hampshire’s method of evaluating student work, no grade point average (GPA) or class rank appears on the Hampshire transcript or any other official documentation produced by the College. Hampshire College is a member of the Five College Consortium, which includes Amherst, Mount Holyoke, and Smith Colleges, and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

    Mount Holyoke College Catalog 2015-2016 Academic Regulations Mount Holyoke students are expected to be fully acquainted with the policies affecting their academic and nonacademic lives on campus. Policies are published in this Bulletin, the Student Handbook, and in Faculty Legislation. New policies are published on the registrar’s website. Registration and Class Attendance Students register for the next semester following academic advising periods. Courses may be added only during the first ten days of classes. Students may withdraw from courses through the first ten weeks of classes. Through the fifteenth day of classes, courses from which the student has withdrawn will not appear on the student’s academic record. After the fifteenth day of classes, withdrawals from courses require the approval of the instructor and will appear on the student’s record, with the notation “W.” After the fiftieth day of classes, students may withdraw from courses only with the authorization of the director of health services, the director of the counseling service, or the dean of the College and with the approval of the instructor. Courses recorded with the notation “W” will not affect a student’s grade average. Regular class attendance is expected of all students unless an individual instructor suspends this expectation. Deadlines for adding and withdrawing from courses that begin midsemester, such as half-semester physical education courses, fall midway through the term and are listed on the academic calendar on the registrar’s website. Course Load and Credits The normal program for undergraduates is 16 academic credits per semester. Students carrying fewer than 12 credits are considered part-time.
