If a woman of color needs a place to vent, to feel safe or to simply be surrounded by like-minded women of color, one of the many places she can go on Wheaton’s campus is to the club Distinguished Women of Color Collective (DWOCC). DWOCC is a student-led organization where women of color—though everyone is […]
This past Monday, Nov. 6, Robert Katende and Phiona Mutsei visited Wheaton. The college has recently awarded Katende the Otis Social Justice Award. Last year, Disney made a film, “Queen of Katwe,” about their life; it follows Mutsei’s life growing up in Katwe, one of Uganda’s largest slums. As a child, Mutsei could not attend […]

James Kenny holds a position on Wheaton’s board that is crucial to its daily functioning. However, most students know very little about his work. Kenny’s official title is Director of Major and Planned Giving; all external funds brought to Wheaton come from his dedicated work. Wheaton, as a private institution, doesn’t have state funding. For […]
Don’t stress about attending Wheaton. It’s a big step forward in life, especially living on campus, but Wheaton will quickly become a second home. The campus I toured in high school soon became the town where all of my friends live, just minutes away from a visit. The dining halls, too, are close to home. […]
This week, the founding members of the newly-formed South Asian and Caribbean Student Initiative (SACSI) provided some insight into the club’s formation, what we can expect to see from them and how they think they can make Wheaton more comfortable for students.
