Hillary Rodham Clinton is slated to return to Wellesley College for a Nov. 1 summit that’s associated with the campus center that bears her name. The Hillary Rodham Clinton Center for Citizenship, Leadership and Democracy summit had been scheduled for this past April, but was scuttled because of a faculty strike happening at the time.
The website for the summit, the theme of which is “We the People: Finding Common Purpose,” shows not opportunity for public in-person attendance but does offer online viewing.
An online survey by The Wellesley News, the student-run news source on campus, shows students are mixed regarding Clinton’s upcoming appearance on campus. The former Secretary of State, U.S. Senator, and First Lady graduated from Wellesley College in 1969.
Clinton will moderate a panel at the summit. Actor and playwright Anna Deavere Smith, Washington state Congresswoman Emily Randall, Arkansas State Sen. Breanne Davis, and others are on the agenda.
The first summit was held in 2024.
Wellesley College is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year.
