Testimonials

"I grew up professionally in a male-dominated world. At BLC, I remembered what sisterhood can feel like. It nourished me. At BLC, I felt reconnected to something that mattered. Energized, inspired, cutting-edge... I want BLC to be part of my professional journey."

"You’ve built a career and life—and it’s still home. A space where I can just be me. Fun to be with people who’ve made a similar path. I was stunned by how accomplished and interesting these women are. I want to take on the world again."

"It’s one of the only spaces where senior women gather to think deeply and share boldly. We share a past, present, and future."

"Wellesley women want to give back. That’s the thread that runs through us. We all have tons of memories of what we took away, and we want this to persist for future generations."

"The BLC has become a most-enduring and meaningful community for me. It is embodiment of the Wellesley spirit of service: Wellesley women supporting, uplifting, and learning from each other. What began as engagement in an alumnae network has blossomed into deep friendships and a sense of shared purpose that spans generations."

"It’s a posse of other women in business who have your back. It’s not transactional. It’s a space of emotional safety and strength."

"The BLC is a fantastic group of women who connect both professionally and intellectually. We are fueled by our love for Wellesley, our connection to one another and our desire to support students and give back. It is such a pleasure and a privilege to return to the College for Plenary and connect throughout the year in our online forums and in-person trips and retreats. I’ve made so many new friends and connections and have also been able to continue my connection with Wellesley in an enduring and powerful way."

"BLC is a powerful network. I landed a corporate board seat from a BLC referral. Women business leaders helping each other.  That’s what BLC is all about."

"BLC and the fellowship of the wonderful alumnae involved is what drew me back to Wellesley. I would not have crossed paths with so many impressive and successful women but for BLC. Now, many have become dear friends of long standing. I have been a member of countless professional organizations and women’s networks over the years. BLC is the one that I cherish the most because of the values and diverse experiences of the members."
