In honoring the past and shaping the future of Wells’ legacy.

Mission Statement

The Wells Legacy Society is a non-profit organization formed on May 15, 2024, by a group of concerned Wells College alumnae responding to the aftermath of the college’s closure decision.

The Wells Legacy Society advocates for the local and regional preservation of Wells’ rich history and nationally significant legacy. Wells College has always been a unique institution with a distinct sense of place. The organization plans to work collaboratively to preserve the assets, archives and artifacts of Wells College in the Village of Aurora and the Finger Lakes region to be enjoyed by generations to come.
