2013<br />
It gives us great pleasure to welcome you to the 2013 Ruhlman <strong>Conference</strong>. Made possible by the Barbara<br />
Peterson Ruhlman Fund for Interdisciplinary Study, the Ruhlman <strong>Conference</strong> is intended to foster<br />
collaboration among students and faculty across the disciplines and to enhance the intellectual life of the<br />
<strong>College</strong>. The event provides an opportunity for students, faculty, staff, friends, family, and alumnae to<br />
come together in celebration of student achievement.<br />
The Ruhlman <strong>Conference</strong> celebrates intellectual life by sponsoring a communal, public event where<br />
students have an opportunity to present their work to an unusually wide audience. By providing an<br />
opportunity for public presentation of what is often a private, isolated activity; the conference<br />
demonstrates that research can be part of the ongoing conversation in a community of scholars.<br />
Attentive to the diversity of student interest and accomplishment, the Ruhlman <strong>Conference</strong> includes a<br />
variety of formats for the presentation of student work: papers, panels, posters, exhibitions, musical and<br />
theatrical performances, interactive teaching presentations, and readings of original work. Representing the<br />
work of nearly 400 <strong>Wellesley</strong> students, the 2013 Ruhlman <strong>Conference</strong> is organized around three major<br />
themes: Humanities, Science and Technology and Social Sciences.<br />
We encourage you to experience the scope and richness of student achievement at the conference and wish<br />
to express our thanks and congratulations to all students and alumnae participating in this special event.<br />
