WHAT NOW?

By now we have all heard the news that the fate of the Wells campus is once again in question. CCFW remains committed to a vision of the campus as an educational institution, in the same spirit as it was for 156 years.

We would like to know what YOU, our alums and supporters, think. Please let us know! Click the link below to send us an e-mail with your thoughts on the future of our alma mater’s campus.

The initial focus of the Cleveland Commission for Wells was to prevent the closure of the college. But as alumnae, we found that we had no legal standing to request an injunction, and therefore we decided to seek answers from the college’s administration and Board of Trustees through our lawyers.  We received none.  As we watched our beloved campus grow silent, be shut down and virtually abandoned, we decided that the best course of action lay in a radical move. We still seek to restore Wells College as an academic institution, utilizing its historic buildings and rich history to continue its strong liberal arts focus, taking full advantage of the biodiversity and ecological resources of the lake and surrounding land.
