How I Became a Cannabis Prescribing Physician
How I Became a Cannabis Prescribing Physician

On March 19th, Dr. Vollen shared the story of how she became a Cannabis prescribing physician and answered our many questions.

Dr. Laurie Vollen is a conventionally trained physician whose clinical practice is now exclusively devoted to medicinal Cannabis. When she began her career in medicine in the 1980s, she never imagined that she would become a Cannabis prescribing physician, much less devote half of her clinical career to helping patients harness the medicinal properties of Cannabis. But now she is sure glad she did. Lola, as she is known, shared the story of how she became a Cannabis prescribing physician and why she is happy (and grateful) to be one.

American Anti-Semitism: Tropes, Micro-Aggressions and Ways to Support the Diverse Jewish Community

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.
