Virtual Lecture Series
As the pandemic is affecting lives in unimaginable ways, it is imperative for us all to understand more about the virus and its impact on society. Through this Virtual Lecture Series, professionals and experts from various fields will virtually provide educational talks on topics such as changes in vaccine production, world economy, virtual education, social interaction, etc. and help answer the questions that people have during these times of confusion and change.

Mask for Me
We aim to collect funding to provide a reusable mask for all of our Wellesley students (and staff if possible), particularly those on campus. Not only do we want to ensure that everyone has access to personal protection, but by providing a mask with the same design to all, we want to remind us that we are all in this together no matter where we are.
Student Feedback
An anonymous survey for students to provide their honest feedback on the semester (Fall 2020) in terms of academics, physical health, and mental well-being. A way to make improvements for all students on and off campus in the near future.
Wellesley Humans of Pandemics
An online publication through which people can share their stories, inspirations, and rumination on life to help us all feel less isolated during these times of social distancing. A platform where members of our community can have their voices heard and also acknowledge the voices of others.
Cards for Cures
Video card project conveying our hope and resilience, and gratitude toward healthcare professionals, workers, patients, and their families. Featuring the works of artists, performers, and writers to help console others and "cure" minds through the universal language of art during these difficult times.
