Wellesley College

As you may know, I am currently in my sophomore year at Wellesley College studying Peace and Justice Studies with a concentration in Community Development through Education and Policy. As my second year at Wellesley College nears its end, it is with a grateful and joy-filled heart that I write this letter. Like most college students, I often find myself feeling uncertain of the future and fearful of what is to come. However, with each new day, I have been learning to depend on the Lord and trust

One of the most admirable aspects of Wellesley College is that hugely ambitious projects are not only encouraged by the institution, but are assisted and funded by Wellesley. Ever since I was a child, I chased after dreams that were unrealistically bold. Most of the time they truly were unrealistic -- I have probably failed twenty times for every success I’ve had. While the few triumphant successes I’ve had are minuscule achievements compared to large-scale research projects or service trips, I realized

Jaquelin Castillo Wellesley College is an extraordinary college that provides all I could ever seek in a college. It has various majors to choose from, extraordinary interactions with professors and students, and an inspirational atmosphere full of great women from various backgrounds. I never knew that such college would have all the preferences I wanted. The more I learned about Wellesley the more I realized that this is a true college in which I could work in and get to where I want to be

why I want to go to Wellesley College, but one of them is definitely number thirteen, where it states “We have your back”. As someone who wants to gain her college education in a supportive and helpful environment, this is quite an important reason, and from what I’ve researched about the college, it seems to be one hundred percent true. The Wellesley community, including the students, faculty, and alumni, are all highly supportive. One person mentioned that going to Wellesley was the best decision

I had a horrible stomachache. The women's choir had been preparing for weeks on end for this concert at Wellesley College and there was no way I would miss it. It's a good thing I didn't. After spending a night at Wellesley College with members of the choir, I knew that this was the place for me. Even through two days of sickness, I was able to get a sense of what kinds of women attend Wellesley. These women are creative, determined, but most of all, they are individuals. This is exactly the kind

Looking at “Wellesley 100”, what impressed me at first glance was number 26, the impressive list of scientific equipment that are available at Wellesley College. Owing to my parents experience in the field of biomedicine and their influence upon me, I have always been intrigued by the methodologies and types of equipment used to conduct the various research that have built the field of biology and biomedicine. My fascination with research originates from the opportunity that I had to visit my father

on the Wellesley College for girls in 1953. Wellesley College is located in New England, and at the time this college campus and area of the country was very liberal and proper. During the school years of 1953 and 1954 Katherine Watson, a teacher, was hired in the Art History Department. Katherine Watson was from California and had dreamed of teaching at this school for years. Once she was there, however, the school she had dreamed about was different than she expected. Rather than a college promoting

professor at Wellesley College contradicts those ideals that had been set forth, among many other things, such as teaching her students life lessons on love, art, and education. Taking place in 1953, Mona Lisa Smile is a fictional drama that depicts the everyday lives of poised and proper schoolgirls at Wellesley College in Massachusetts.

On September 5, 1995 Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke at the U.N.’s Fourth World Conference for Women. Here she said, “If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, let it be that human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights, once and for all.” These words have followed her throughout the rest of her career in public service and has become the epitome of her ideals. Countless arguments and debates about Hillary have been posed throughout her 40 years in the public

There are two ways in which one leads a classroom of young entrepreneurs of learning. These forms of education are concreted in either a banking concept or problem posing approach. Paulo Freire, the creator of such ideas, is a man who believes in the distinct difference that either reaps learning or destroys it. Banking concept education, according to Freire, is an education that “becomes an act of depositing, in which the students are the depositories and the teacher is the depositor” (Freire 244)
