All, Last week, I had the privilege of interviewing former CIA and NSA director Michael Hayden in Washington D.C. alongside my friend and colleague Brian Jencunas. You will be able to read all about that experience in next week’s edition of the Wire, as well as on WheatonWire.com at the end of this week. I’m […]

All, Welcome back to Wheaton! I hope you had a lovely break. The Wire took the week off, so we missed a lot of important news. Here’s my personal rundown of the past few weeks. News: The U.S. government shutdown came to an end on Oct. 17. Oct. 17 also ended the era of privileged […]

All, A few weeks back, I asked you to submit ideas for potential columns on WheatonWire.com. Since then, I’ve received at least a dozen ideas in the Wire email. I have to say, I’m completely blown away by the submissions. It isn’t that I doubted you all. Of course I didn’t. It was much more […]

Congratulations to all of the new members of student government here at Wheaton. I think your jobs are extremely important to the success of our college. One of the major reasons I chose Wheaton, in fact, is because its student government convinced me to. When I was applying to colleges, I took an absurd amount […]

Ever walk around Norton before? I did the other day. And not down Pharmacy Row, either. It sounds like a weird thing to do, since the majority of the people who live at Wheaton describe Norton as a terrible, terrible place to live as an undergraduate. Let’s be real—it’s hardly a Northampton or a Hanover. […]

All, We need your help. Yeah, you read that right: we need you. No, I’m not going to give you that “We’re A Community Paper” schpiel that I tend to drag out at this point of the semester. We need you to check out the awesome platforms we’ve created for the Wire. Ending a reign […]

All, I’ve lived on Wheaton’s campus for the past three years of my life. Most seniors would say the same. My situation has been a little different, though, because when most people leave for home after finals week, I stay on campus. Each year, I watch the amount of people residing at Wheaton dwindle until […]

Well, this is it. At the beginning of the year, I wrote up a to-do list and promised that I’d use this space to reflect upon that list at the end of the year. So, here it goes. One of the goals I stressed in my letter was putting the Wire online. With hard work […]

After the Boston Marathon bombings, I had an instant feeling of shock. I remember feeling sick as I watched video of the tragedy on television. I remember sitting in complete silence next to a friend for what felt like an hour, and hugging afterward because we didn’t know what else to do. Shock quickly morphed […]

This week, I’m going to give most of this space to Darrell Legace ’02, who wrote a letter to the editor last week. Mr. Legace wrote: “I just wanted to write and say that it is nice to see how the Wheaton Wire has grown and improved since I was a student and section editor. […]
