Our classmate, Martha Vestal Clarke, helped us get started on genealogical research on November 6, 2022, while Laura Smietanka Jensen provided her insights on genealogy through genetic testing.
Here are the reference materials from Martha's presentation. Interview tips, family tree-building software, literature, websites, and various types of records and how to use them are included in these resources.

On January 22, 2023, two Jewish and one African American classmate led a discussion on anti-semitism in the US and at Wellesley, past and present. This was NOT a discussion of Israeli politics or the specific topic of Jews of Color; instead, it was a time to explore and challenge stereotyping and micro-aggressions.
The session emphasized building bridges and safety for all, whether Jewish, Palestinian, or from other marginalized groups. Discussions focused on common confusions or pitfalls, allowing for diverse viewpoints and how to hold the complexity of identities with empathy while supporting basic safety and rights.
