Community, whether a neighborhood, church or even Wheaton College, serves a vital purpose in the lives of its members. Different communities can be formed not just based on geographic location, but also on people who are parts of similar cultures, interests or desires. This makes it hard to conceptualize a cohesive community in a place […]
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.

What changes have been made? To summarize, each club is given $300, designated for events. With the new policy, the club treasurer […]
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 […]
Some need-to-know aspects of Wheaton life for our first-year students. 1. The library steps are reserved for students. Get caught siting on them may get you thrown into Peacock pond. 2. Chase coffee gets worse as the day goes on. 3. Your Wheaton ID gets you discounts at Bertucci’s, J.Crew, The Boston Museum of Fine […]
