The Wellesley News was formed and operates on the ancestral, traditional and contemporary un-ceded lands of the Massachusett tribe. The staff recognizes that this is stolen land and offers this land acknowledgement to affirm Indigenous sovereignty while committing to holding Wellesley College accountable to the needs of Indigenous peoples and its Indigenous students.
Established in 1901, the Wellesley News is the only campus newspaper of Wellesley College. The News, which is entirely student-run, has traditionally been published weekly on Wednesdays during the academic year. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the News is now publishing on a primarily online basis, with multiple articles being published on this webpage per weekday and an email newsletter sent out Wednesday mornings.
