Thanks to the almost 70 classmates who were on the all-class Zoom on April 23. ’73 leadership discussed what we did the past five years to keep our class connected, including mini-reunions and class and dorm Zooms. We discussed our finances and our class gift of $25,000 to the Wellesley Student Aid Society with a fund now called "The Class of 1973 Financial Aid Fund in Honor of and in Memory of Classmates."  We welcomed our next group of '73 officers, who will serve from July 1, 2023 to May 31, 2028.

The Wellesley '73 Record Book is live!

We hope that you enjoy reading about what our classmates have been doing since we last got together. Many of us have uploaded photos of family and of the wide array of activities and crafts we have been busy with.

Included in the Record Book are responses to the 50th Reunion Survey, including "word clouds" of the terms used most often when answering the survey questions. You will find that there are many shared themes in our lives.

The Class of 1973 has had the highest percentage of donors of any non-reunion class. Our goals during this 50th reunion year are to receive donations from 100 percent of class members. “When we achieve it,” Class Rep Jane Risser told us at the class meeting, we would be the first class to do so since 1941. Jane is sure we can do it. As of May 16, we were at 78 percent! Jane also pointed out that a gift of any size – even less than $25 – can be counted toward class participation.

For our Reunion year, it is easy to make a gift to Wellesley:

• Online at https://www.givecampus.com/campaigns/12510/donations/new
