Wellesley Tumblr Roll Call
Lisa, class of 1999 and an associate editor at Wellesley magazineCan we do a roll call for all the Wellesley peeps on Tumblr? Just reblog this if you go to/went to Wellesley. If you are inclined, you can add your name and year but it’s fine if you don’t.

Through a generous gift from Professor Emeritus Marshall Goldman and his family, Wellesley established The Marshall I. Goldman Endowed Professorship Fund this year. Income from the fund supports a faculty member in the Economics Department, who will retain the professorship throughout her or his tenure at Wellesley. At commencement, President Bottomly announced that Kristin Butcher ’86 will be the first Goldman Professor. Congratulations to Kristin, and a round of applause for Marshall and his family.

But find your Charlotte. You are going to need a soul mate. You’re going to need the courage. You’re going to need for somebody to write in their web, ‘No, really, you are Some Pig.’

My fellow seniors, I’m scared. I’ve spent four happy years here and now they’re telling me I have to enter the real world. Of course, you don’t have to worry. You are the women who have positions at Capital One or AmeriCorps waiting for you. You are the women whose contributions to your communities have led to recognition from Secretary Albright and President Clinton. You are the women who got As in macroeconomics. (Seriously, how did you do that?) But, my dear seniors, what about me? Sure, I am lucky enough to give this speech, but what if this is it? What if this is my moment in the sun?
What if I’m a ‘woman who won’t’?
