Notes
Wellesley College gratefully acknowledges the generous alumnae and friends who support experiential learning. Their support enables students to engage in offcampus learning opportunities that have become an integral part of the Wellesley College educational experience. The Tanner Conference Committee gratefully acknowledges staff in the following departments and facilities for their commitment to the Tanner Conference: AVI Fresh, Campus Police, Communications and Public Affairs, Custodial Services, Diana Chapman Walsh Alumnae Hall, Physical Plant Administration, Grounds, Library and Technology Services, Mail Services, Motor Pool, Special Events, and the Science Center.
THE TANNER CONFERENCE Encompassing the diversity of student experiences and interests, the Tanner Conference takes as its subject internships and service learning, international study, experiential learning in courses, research conducted away from Wellesley, and fellowships. The conference provides a venue for faculty, staff, and students to discuss the challenges to teaching and learning presented by new definitions of what constitutes the classroom. It also invites alumnae to return to campus to discuss how their decisions to participate in these experiences as Wellesley students later proved to be ones of consequence.
We wish to thank all those presenting in the Tanner Conference for their roles in helping us to better understand Wellesley’s place in the world. We invite you to join the conversation that they are seeking to foster.

It is our privilege to invite your participation in the 2011 Tanner Conference. Established through the generosity of trustee emerita Estelle “Nicki” Newman Tanner ’57, the Tanner Conference explores the relationship between the liberal arts classroom and student participation in an increasingly diverse and interdependent world. The conference is premised on the belief that a greater understanding of the learning that takes place off campus—combined with critical inquiry into the purpose, value, and effect of such learning—has the potential to move liberal education in new directions.

The Tanner Conference provides students the opportunity to learn about Wellesley’s international study, internship and grant, and fellowship programs through presentation, panels, and roundtables. International Study Every year, about 45 percent of Wellesley College juniors participate in semester or full-year international study programs in more than 38 countries. Roughly a third of those who study internationally are enrolled in Wellesley Collegesponsored programs, with the remainder selecting programs sponsored by other colleges, universities, or international study providers. Internship and Grant Programs Wellesley College supports a large and diverse number of summer internships and community service projects in the United States and around the world. This summer, more than 300 students participated in internship programs across 41 countries. Fellowship Programs Wellesley College offers fellowships for graduate study or research that are open to graduating seniors and Wellesley alumnae. Each year, the College supports approximately 50 women in both national and international programs of study or research. In addition, faculty committees assist candidates in applying for national fellowships, such as the Rhodes, Marshall, Fulbright, Truman, and Goldwater.

International Study Programs Department of Classical Studies College Year in Athens This program is designed for students interested in the study of ancient, medieval, or modern Greece and its environs. Courses are offered in archaeology, art history, classical languages and literature, ethnography, history, international relations, modern Greek language and literature, philosophy, political science, and religion. This semester or yearlong program in Athens emphasizes ancient Greece, with some attention paid to modern Greece and the Greek language. Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome This program focuses on the archaeology and topography of ancient Rome, and is taught by American faculty. Approximately 35 students are enrolled in the program each semester. Each student takes four units: a required two unit course on “The Ancient City”; one unit of Greek or Latin; and one other unit, such as art history or the Italian language. Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures CET Beijing Chinese Language Program Based in one of China’s most dynamic cities (and the home of “standard” Chinese), the CET Beijing program immerses students in local Chinese life. Students have the opportunity to live with Chinese roommates from local universities and to enroll in innovative language courses that challenge their skills inside and outside the classroom. The program’s unique activities further capitalize on Beijing’s rich learning environment and show students a side of China not seen by tourists. This program is available in the spring, summer, or fall terms.

Associated Kyoto Program, Japan Wellesley College is a member of a consortium of 16 liberal arts colleges that sponsors the Associated Kyoto Program at Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan’s ancient capital. This two-semester program is an enriching, rigorous experience that provides an opportunity for students to study the Japanese language and take related courses in the humanities and the social sciences while living with a homestay family in the Kyoto area. Courses are taught by professors from the participating colleges and by Japanese-language teachers. Students take courses in English and Japanese, and are encouraged to participate in travel and cultural activities. Ewha Womans University, Seoul, South Korea Wellesley College offers a student-for-student exchange program with Ewha Womans University in Seoul. Wellesley students attend classes in Ewha’s international coeducational programs. All classes, with the exception of Korean, are taught in English. Students who have mastered the Korean language also may take courses at the university outside of the international program. Japan Women’s University, Tokyo, Japan This is a challenging, total-immersion, yearlong, student-for-student exchange program for one or two students per year between Wellesley College and Japan Women’s University, which is located in the heart of Tokyo. Students take courses at the university in addition to intensive Japanese-language courses for a total of 30 to 32 credits, and receive full credit for the year. One academicyear course may be taken in English at the coeducational Waseda University’s International Division at no additional expense. Students have the choice of living in a dormitory or with a homestay family. In addition to a versatile liberal arts curriculum with a strong emphasis on Japanese studies,
t h e
w o r l d
the university offers a wide range of club and extracurricular activities. Department of French Wellesley-in-Aix The Wellesley-in-Aix program offers an exciting and challenging course of study, as well as an authentic experience of French life and culture. The program is open to women and men and its modest size (30 to 35 participants) allows close attention to be paid to individual interests and academic needs. Students begin with a pre-session of preparatory coursework and cultural excursions in Paris. In Aix, students are fully matriculated at the University of Provence (Aix-Marseille) and take the same courses as French students. Majors in political science, international relations, and economics are also registered at Sciences Po-Aix. Participants share studio apartments in Aix’s centre ville (downtown); homestays with selected families also are available. Department of German Wellesley-in-Berlin Wellesley College’s Department of German sponsors a junior-year-abroad program at the Freie University in Berlin, Germany, hosted by Middlebury College. The program offers academic-year and spring-semester options that allow students in almost all majors to pursue their academic interests. A resident director and tutors assist students with integration into university life. The opportunity to participate in internships at various political, cultural, and social institutions is a feature of the program. The Susan Rappaport Knafel ’52 International Internship Fund provides internship grants with an application through the Center for Work and Service.
Office of International Study The Wellesley College Office of International Study provides advice and support for Wellesley students who elect to study in a foreign country for a semester or an academic year. Each year, almost 50 percent of the junior class pursues academic course work internationally for at least one semester. Of those, about a third enroll in one of Wellesley’s international study or exchange programs in Austria, Egypt, France, Hong Kong SAR, Italy, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Spain, or the United Kingdom. The remainder enrolls in one of more than 150 approved programs or direct-enrollment options. All students considering spending a semester or year in a foreign country during their junior year should begin the process early in their sophomore year. Department of Italian Studies Eastern College Consortium (ECCO), Bologna, Italy The ECCO in Lecce is an intensive threeweek summer program offered in the month of August. It is a rigorous linguistic and valuable cultural full-immersion experience recommended before the semester or yearlong program in Bologna. The language course consists of a fast-paced and thorough grammar review presented in the context of contemporary Italian issues, with a particular focus on southern Italian art, history, customs, and traditions. Learning of the language and understanding of the culture are also fostered through a rich program of social and artistic events, extracurricular activities, and guided tours in the region of Puglia. Department of Spanish Program for Mexican Culture and Society in Puebla, Mexico Wellesley College, Oberlin College, Smith College, and Wheaton College jointly offer an international study program in conjunction with the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma
de Puebla (BUAP). Students in this program enroll directly in regular Mexican university courses across nearly all divisions of the BUAP, a large public research university. Students build an individually tailored curriculum in collaboration with an on-site resident director who is a faculty member of one of the sponsoring institutions. Supplemental language and subject-matter tutoring is provided. As bona fide students of the BUAP, participants enjoy full access to university facilities and services. They live with host Mexican families. An extensive cultural activities program, as well as excursions to Mexico City, Oaxaca, Tlaxcala, and Chiapas complement the curricular offerings. The program has two terms: from early August through midDecember and from early January through late May. Each term offers a considerably longer international study experience than the usual semester—which may be of particular benefit to students who cannot spend an entire year outside the United States.
the Universidad de Córdoba. Course offerings are extensive, both in terms of PRESHCO courses and general university offerings, ranging from the fine arts to environmental sciences and engineering, from comparative law and politics to seminars in literature and film. Depending on individual preferences, students are housed in privately run dormitories or with host Spanish families. A variety of planned excursions complements and enhances the program of study.
Programa de Estudios Hispánicos en Córdoba (PRESHCO), Spain A consortium of Oberlin College, Smith College, The College of Wooster, Trinity College, Wellesley College, and Wheaton College created the Programa de Estudios Hispánicos en Córdoba in 1981 to encourage the intellectual and personal growth that comes from cultural immersion. The program offers students an opportunity to strengthen their acquisition of the Spanish language while fostering an appreciation of Spanish history and culture through studies in a variety of disciplines. The PRESHCO program is designed not only for Spanish majors, but for anyone wishing to develop fluency in Spanish for future professional endeavors. Academic study centers on courses taught by regular faculty from the Universidad de Córdoba, but developed to address the requirements of American universities and colleges; the program also offers direct matriculation at t h e

The Madeleine Korbel Albright Institute for Global Affairs
Anchor Point Internships in Global Leadership These internships were established through the generosity of Amy Batchelor ’88 and Brad Feld. Wellesley College students undertake ten-week summer internships in programs that foster their connections to the global community and encourage their global leadership skills and activities. Anchor Point internships have included placements for students from a variety of academic backgrounds in Cameroon, Cape Verde, Egypt, Morocco, and other countries. Sites have included a foundation dedicated to young women’s scientific and technological education and, a local women’s NGO working to improve economic and social conditions, among others. These community development-based projects will enable students to encounter the diversity, creative dynamism, and humanity existing throughout the world.
The Madeleine Korbel Albright Institute for Global Affairs completed its second successful year in 2011. Forty students were chosen as Albright Fellows and participated in an intensive Wintersession program in January. As a component of the Institute’s program, Albright Fellows each pursued summer internships in global affairs. The following donors have made endowed gifts to support the internships of Albright Fellows: Dorothy Chao Jenkins ’68 Lia Gelin Poorvu ’56 Mary Sidell James ’65 Class of 1959 Arthur Vining Davis Foundation Beth Langerman Friedman ’82 Sandra Brown Eakins ’59
Center for Work and Service Global Engagement Internship Programs American Cities Internship Program What is it like to have a job in a major American city? The American Cities Internship Program translates Wellesley College’s liberal arts education into action by providing interns with an intensive, careerrelated experience and the opportunity to live in such cities as Atlanta, Bethesda, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and San Francisco, and Stamford. Students are placed in for-profit and nonprofit organizations, with alumnae mentors when possible. Through their internships, students become familiar with professional responsibilities, create networks for future employment, and learn the importance of cultivating relationships with co-workers of diverse ages

Children’s Hospital Boston, Division of Hematology/Oncology This internship provides an opportunity for students to learn skills related to basic, translational, and clinical research in pediatric blood diseases, cancer, and stem cell biology. The intern will work with a mentor to conduct basic research in a laboratory, or to contribute to the development of a clinical research effort. The intern is expected to become familiar with the research approaches used by her mentor. At the mentor’s discretion, she may develop a specific project with a current member of the research team. Clinton Health Access Initiative Internship Program The Clinton Foundation was established to address poverty and health inequalities across the globe by expanding access to lifesaving
t h e
w o r l d
medicines and by helping developing countries systematize their approaches to health care. The Clinton Foundation established CHAI in 2002. Interns at the organization conduct ten-week summer internships in areas of the world where CHAI has a presence. Students have worked in CHAI offices in China, South Africa, and Ethiopia. Internships in International Human Rights Organizations This program places students in international and domestic organizations working on human rights problems. During their internship, students address the issues of civil rights, equality, and justice throughout the world. Placements vary from year to year and have included The Henry Jackson Society in London, United Kingdom and Iran Human Rights Documentation Center in New Haven, CT. Lumpkin Summer Institute for Service Learning Designed for students with a commitment to service, the ten-week Lumpkin Summer Institute for Service Learning challenges students to explore and participate in social change in the greater Boston area. During the program, students live together in Boston while undertaking full-time internships with local nonprofit organizations. Led by Wellesley College faculty, staff, and nonprofit practitioners, weekly seminars integrating experiential and traditional classroom learning benefit not only the Wellesley interns but also the communities in which they serve. The Elisabeth Luce Moore ’24 Summer Internships in Asia The Elisabeth Luce Moore ’24 Summer Internships in Asia aim to prepare students for lives and careers in a global economy. Through internships in East Asian business, government, and nonprofit organizations, students gain a knowledge of local business and cultural norms that informs their liberal arts
education and prepares them for professions in an interconnected world. The program, which currently sponsors internships in China, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, and South Korea, was established in 1999 with a grant from the Henry Luce Foundation, and builds on ties between Wellesley College and Asia that date to the late nineteenth century. SoundWaters Summer Internship Program This program funds a student to work as a head educator, deckhand, and mate aboard SoundWaters, an 80-foot, three-masted schooner docked in Stamford, CT. This “floating classroom” program offers a multidisciplinary environmental curriculum for children and adults in Westchester, Nassau, and Suffolk counties in NY, and in Fairfield County, CT. Educators live and teach aboard SoundWaters. Summer Internships in Psychology at the Walker School and Riverside Community Care The Summer Internships in Psychology Program was developed in order to give students the opportunity to gain highly valuable clinical experience that helps them make informed career choices. Working in a community-based agency sensitizes the students to issues of cultural diversity and poverty and increases their understanding of the biopsycho-social model of mental disorders. Thus the interns develop a deeper appreciation of the complex interface between genetic makeup, psychological coping strategies, and the larger socio-cultural forces determining how individuals negotiate the vicissitudes of life. Vieques Conservation & Historical Trust (VCHT) Internship Program During this Wellesley College Wintersession and summer internship, students at the Vieques Conservation and Historical Trust (VCHT) help advance the organization’s mission of promoting environmental stewardship and community activism. Vieques Island, 21 miles long and five miles wide, is located ten
miles off the eastern shore of Puerto Rico’s main island. The VCHT works to protect and preserve local natural resources, including the most abundant bioluminescent bay in the world. Interns contribute to the implementation of several educational and research programs. Wellesley Internships in Africa Through Wellesley Internships in Africa, students undertake ten-week summer internships in Morocco, Uganda, and Ethiopia. Placements are available to students from a variety of academic backgrounds in organizations ranging from an international educational program to a local NGO working to create stronger cross-cultural relationships. These education and community development-based projects enable students to encounter the diversity, creative dynamism, and humanity of the continent. Wellesley Internships in Europe Established in 2009, the Wellesley Internships in Europe program provides an intensive, career-related internship in a student’s field of interest. In 2011, students pursued placements in Italy, Ireland, and Spain. Among them is a long-standing opportunity at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy, where students become familiar with museum management in one of the great art cities of Europe and work on the Biennale depending on the year. Wellesley Internships in India Established in 2007, the Wellesley Internships in India program provides students in all majors the opportunity to undertake tenweek summer internships in New Delhi and Mumbai. Placements are available in grassroots educational, organizing, and advocacy organizations. Responsibilities and projects include research, teaching, mentoring, communications, and office projects. Participation will enable students to develop flexibility, knowledge of the complexities and cultures t h e
of India, and the ability to work in varying cultural contexts. Students are exposed to the culturally rich regions and diverse populations of the Indian subcontinent. Wellesley Internships in Latin America The Wellesley Internships in Latin America program provides placements in varied fields such as political and environmental sciences, economics, Latin American politics, history, biology, and sociology. Students learn about the challenges facing this region. Students in all fields and majors are encouraged to apply for internships in Argentina, Guatemala, and Costa Rica. Through the program, interns gain an insider’s perspective on some of the most dynamic areas of the world.
Center for Work and Service Grant Programs The Paul B. Beal and Mona Phillips Beal Internship Fund The Paul B. Beal and Mona Phillips Beal Internship Fund has been established to encourage and facilitate practical learning experiences that will help Wellesley College students better define their career choices and develop a more informed understanding of the challenges and rewards of such choices. It is hoped that as a result of internship participation, students will make more effective course selections at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, learn more from those courses because of the perspective and experience they have acquired in their internship work, and become more competitive candidates for future opportunities in their chosen career paths. Carolyn Shaw Bell Internship Fund The Carolyn Shaw Bell Internship encourages and supports students seeking internship experience in business or economics. This program provides stipends for internships in nonprofit or for-profit organizations.
