Interim Dean of Students Carol Bate, the former Assistant Dean of Students, came to present at Senate on Monday during Dean’s Corner.

Renovations are taking place in the Freeman Living Room, the Courtyard between Bates, McAfee, and Freeman, Acorns, Harambee House and Houghton Memorial Chapel. The majority of these renovations will be completed by the second half of October, but some will be paused and picked back up after the winter. Policy changes are coming to Wellesley for the “Alcohol and Other Drugs Policy” and the “Service and Assist Animals Policy.” These changes can be found on the Wellesley website and will be circulated to students.
