“As we step into this new chapter full of choices and challenges, I want us to reflect on what Wellesley has left within us: not just a degree, but a way of seeing the world; not just skills, but a mindset to guide us wherever we go.” — Nehal Farghaly ’25, Wellesley College Student Commencement Speaker (fb)

”Every song ever written, every skyscraper ever built, every feat of engineering, every invention we now take for granted exists because someone imagined what — to that moment — had never existed. I ask that you imagine a world free of strife and division, a world of peace and belonging for all of humanity.“ — Isabel Wilkerson, 2025 Wellesley College Commencement Speaker (fb)
