Our alumnae are our most cherished asset and have been one of the best parts of my job as president. Having the opportunity to meet and engage with all of you has inspired me and regularly refreshed my commitment throughout my tenure at Wellesley. I am very glad I have one more chance to spend a few days with you before I conclude my presidency later this month. This weekend, I invite you to strengthen old friendships and create new ones. I also encourage you to rediscover your favorite spots on campus. As you walk past Lake Waban and across Severance Green, I know that being at Wellesley will rekindle those magic memories of your time here as a student. Again, welcome home! It is marvelous to have you back on campus and I hope you enjoy this Reunion Weekend. Sincerely, H. Kim Bottomly 4 | WELLESLEY COLLEGE REUNION 2016 WELLESLEY COLLEGE ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION Dear Alumna: On behalf of the Wellesley College Alumnae Association (WCAA), I am thrilled to welcome you back to campus! The Alumnae Association’s mission—to connect alumnae to the College and to each other—is fully realized at Reunion. Whether you are celebrating your 5th or 75th, we hope you reconnect with all that is Wellesley. There is a wide range of programs planned for you: from stimulating faculty lectures to in-depth tours, from yoga to a walk (or run!) around the lake, from Stepsinging to a variety of open houses. And be sure to join us on Saturday afternoon for a very special, all- campus event featuring three College presidents. We encourage you to take the time to visit some of the campus renewal initiatives that have been completed since your last Reunion. On the east side of campus, the Whitin Observatory has been renovated and is sharing the expanded space with the Geosciences Department. Other major renovations include Schneider Center, which now provides inviting space for several student services offices; the Field House, which includes a fabulous new fitness mezzanine; and the Butler Boathouse, re-opened last spring as a brighter, more accessible and more functional building. Pendleton West is currently under construction and slated for completion in January 2017. We look forward to cheering with you on Sunday morning at our favorite and most inspirational Reunion event—Alumnae Parade! Afterwards, join us for the WCAA annual meeting, where we will celebrate class milestones and noted alumnae. The annual meeting will also afford us a special opportunity to hear from Kim Bottomly, in her last address to alumnae as President of the College. Reunion would not be possible without the hard work, commitment, and enthusiasm of your class volunteers. The WCAA Board of Directors and I extend our heartfelt thanks to all of these dedicated alumnae. Please thank them for their hard work and dedication to bringing your class together for this special weekend. Whether you participate in several programs or simply enjoy the beauty of our campus and deepen long-standing friendships, we hope you enjoy Reunion 2016. It’s going to be a wonderful weekend. We’re happy you’re here!
