Mechanical Trades VIDEO While not as picturesque as the Kangamangus Highway Nadeau biked on his Harley Davidson with his wife, David Nadeau’s office window offers a pleasant, palliative view of Peacock Pond. This view is a stark contrast with the bottom floor of the Boiler Plant, where noisy boilers and colorful pipes pierce through the […]

My dream is to be featured on the Wheaton College webpage. I have been doing everything in my power to get on that homepage; I have jumped in the background of people taking professional looking photos (that got awkward around prom season), I have… well, okay, that is all I did. But recently I attempted […]
There are some defining Wheaton experiences that every student goes through during his or her four years at Wheaton. In addition to swimming across Peacock Pond, ordering a stir fry from Chase employee Mark is another uniquely Wheaton experience. Mark’s witty banter and delicious stir fry have charmed many students, making it no wonder that […]
I’m all for a business major at Wheaton College. I understand that, like most things, a new department will only be successful if the entire process is done correctly. I’m not worried about that, though. One thing Wheaton has consistently excelled at since I’ve been here is providing excellent academic programs. In the haze of […]

In response to the ongoing movement to improve various aspects of Wheaton’s administration, I will say this: clarity, transparency and consistency are fundamental components of leadership. For instance, the Grammy Awards, the supposed premier program for musical achievement, suck. Why? Well, as leaders of the music industry, the Grammys are totally fraudulent. I truly don’t […]

Lessons learned from a sober weekend
The passing of The Big Event means another sober weekend has come and gone on campus, perhaps without many students even realizing it was taking place. It also means Wheaton College saw an abundance of people wearing shirts sporting the word ‘SOBER’ in big capital letters, many of whom will later wear them while intoxicated, […]
Here’s a case for print media for you: the world is a scary place. Don’t believe me? Consider the following. Nowadays, you’re probably less likely to be cudgeled to death by angry troglodytes, and I’m fairly certain you’re less likely to be mauled by a large animal in the woods. Alas, times were simpler back […]
