Centennial Events
Over 75 special events and activities were planned to celebrate Lesley University’s 100th Anniversary. We hope you were able to join others in the Lesley community for one or more of these special offerings which included the following: Lesley Days/Nights at the Boston Red Sox, Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, Mt. Auburn Cemetery, Boston Pops, Children’s Museum and Sculler’s Jazz Club; Lectures featuring Jonathan Kozol, Dan Siegel, Derek Bok, Linda Nathan, George Packer, Luis Gonzalez Palma, Erik Weihenmayer and Derek Bok, among others; and other special school celebrations, alumni receptions, art and archival exhibitions, and community service projects.
Our very special Centennial Commencement featured honorees Arne Duncan, Chinua Achebe, Roz Chast and Victoria Reggie Kennedy.
