Fulfilled Wishes: Complete Projects
What is the Wish List?
The "Wish List" funding is one of the critical tasks carried out by National Committee members of Friends of Wellesley College Athletics. This wish list is a compilation of requests from coaches, physical education instructors, administrators and athletes. Some items are critical, others are "extras", but they are all items that would not have otherwise been funded by the College.
