Night of Harmonious Revelry, March 4th

The Seoul Wellesley alums had a night out for some female bonding at Alice near Dosan Park on March 4th, 2009. There was singing, dancing, a little drinking, and lots of fun.

So wonderful to have alums from classes '78 thru '07 be able to join the lunch.

Good food & conversations had by all!

Wellesley Wine Night -- Nov 19th, 2008

We held a Wellesley Wine Night on Nov 19th at Aligote Kitchen.
It was a great way to chase away the mid-week blues.
Smart conversation shared by alums from classes '95 thru '06.
We hope to have another wine night within the next few months.
Sorry, no pics to share with you from this event.

Welcome Dinner, Oct 20, 2008

Picture from Seoul Wellesley Club welcome dinner -- Oct 20th, 2008, at Hanmiri in Kwangwhamun.

It was so wonderful to see so many of you at the dinner on Oct 20th. Visitors from the College included Laura Bey – Associate Registrar, Jennifer Thomas-Stark – Director of Int'l Studies, and Ellen Widmer – Prof and Chair of East Asian Languages & Literatures.

From the Seoul Wellesley Club members, 20 alums representing classes ranging from 1960 to 2006 were in attendence...and even a future alum from the class of 2010!

It was an excellent evening to reconnect with such smart and vibrant alums in Seoul!

Welcome!
