    News In Brief: 10/5

    Remix cancelled due to inclement weather

    Wellesley’s most popular party of the year, Remix, was cancelled one day before the event was scheduled to take place on Saturday, Oct. 1. The dance, hosted by the Schneider Board of Governors (SBOG), was called off due to a forecast of heavy rain. SBOG was unable to secure an alternative indoor space because it was under such short notice. While students were disappointed to learn that the event was cancelled, many residence halls held alternative programs Saturday night: McAfee held a movie night and screened “Sydney White” and Cazenove had “board games, movies and snacks” for students to enjoy in the TV Room. Additionally, SBOG ordered pizzas to be served at all residence halls late Saturday night for students to eat.

    Wellesley faculty member featured as guest on Boston Radio

    Joanne Roberts, a senior research scientist at Wellesley Centers for Women (WCW), appeared on Boston Radio on Sept. 28 to discuss child care costs in Massachusetts as compared to other places in the United States. The report discussed in the radio segment concluded that while child care affordability in Massachusetts is poor, the quality and availability of child care in the state is highly rated. Roberts observed that strict license regulations are usually responsible for driving up costs for child care programs, but these regulations improve the quality of these programs. Roberts has worked with the WCW since 2001.
