Greetings Wellesley alums!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful autumn. Chusok is right around the corner and in the spirit of reconnecting with family and friends, we wanted to take the opportunity to say hello to our fellow Wellesley friends.

During the past year, we were fortunate to have several club events for fellow alums from a wide range of classes to get together and below are some highlights (and pics).

We are looking forward to more fun and interesting club events in the coming months so please keep an eye out for event notices. Also, if you have any suggestions for the club or updates you’d like to share with the other members, please drop us a note.

We look forward to hearing from you and catching up in the near future.

Sincerely,
