Greetings CE/DS Classmates, Spring 2023 has sprung on the campus. The daffodils and gorgeous ornamental trees are in bloom and the Wellesley College Alumnae Association (WCAA) staff is preparing for the first in-person Reunion since 2019. This year those who graduated on the 3's and 8's will be returning to the "Mothership" in all her splendor from May 26th thru May 28th. There are also campus wide "open to the public" Spring activities that will keep you connected with the college and your colleagues, if you wish to partake in. There is so much to participate in! Enjoy the Season.
Specifically for CE/DS Alumnae:
Our Stories/Our Experiences
In September, 2022, the CE/DS Alumnae Board collaborated with the Davis Scholar Class Council (DSCC) Officers, and the current and incoming Davis Scholars, to share "Our Stories"; what we knew and didn't know when we entered Wellesley College, what we learned, and what we came to understand in the life of a non-traditional student at Wellesley College.
We would like to make this an annual event. If you want to come tell your story in person, all the better! You can help us make this event a success!
Help celebrate what we share – Wellesley College's Davis Scholar Program – and the ways in which our unique experiences enrich our community. Share your path to Wellesley and how your CE/DS experience has shaped your life.
Please fill out the "Our Stories" and we will be in touch with you. Thank you! Secret Snowflake
In NOVEMBER, the CE/DS Class Alumnae Board will be asking CE/DS Alums to participate in Secret Snowflake. This has become an annual event to show our support for the current Davis Scholars during their finals. For some, this can be a stressful time and having others who have “been in their shoes” and know that “feeling”, it’s comforting opening a care package while studying. Stayed tuned, there will be more details to come.
