WELLESLEY, Mass. -- Wellesley College student-athletes are presenting today at the annual Tanner Conference on Tuesday, October 28, 2025 at Wellesley College.

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 out of the classroom —combined with critical inquiry into the purpose, value, and effect of such learning—has the potential to move liberal arts education in new directions. 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 primarily conducted away from Wellesley, and fellowships.

Presenters have the chance to reflect upon their experiences and share their insights and growth with their peers, while attendees learn about the ways in which such experiences can complement the classroom experience and clarify one's interests and goals. Many students describe presenting at and attending Tanner as a highlight of their Wellesley experience. A complete list of student-athlete presenters can be found below.
