Evergreens is the name of the senior class’ student-run business. The home of the infamous Undefeated Football and MIT Men shirts, Evergreens’ niche is Wellesley merchandise that you won’t find in the bookstore. (For some good examples, check out the Class of 2007’s Evergreen’s website http://www.wellesley.edu/Activities/homepage/2007/Evergreens/)
Each year the junior class purchases Evergreens from the outgoing senior class, and the Class of 2009 has just acquired Evergreens for the upcoming year. Evergreens functions to help class council in two ways: to foster school/class spirit and to earn money to subsidize the costs of senior week for members of the senior class. Each year the costs associated with senior week are a major concern for members of the senior class, and helping with Evergreens is one way to help ensure low ticket prices.
I hope this is a helpful description, but please post if you have any questions. And please post to the Evergreens 2009 conference (a subconference of the Class of 2009 conference) if you have any ideas, designs, feedback, or anything!
Best, Samantha
