You may have noticed that we at the Wire have been covering a lot of staff changes lately. The administrative structure at a college rarely makes itself apparent to the average student, which is not in itself a bad thing, but I have found it invaluable to have at least a working knowledge of the […]

Wheaton’s Film and New Media Studies (FNMS) program is one of its newest — the first batch of seniors to graduate with the major walked at graduation this past May. Now that the new academic year has finally begun, it is easy to see that there are great things happening with FNMS here on Wheaton’s […]

Student groups to import 1,000 condoms
In October, 1,000 Trojan condoms will arrive on the Wheaton campus. The Feminist Association of Wheaton (FAW) and the Sexual Health Advocacy Group (SHAG) were both chosen as winners of the Great American Condom Campaign, a project of the nonprofit Advocates for Youth. The goal of the campaign is to equip student groups with condoms […]
Summer has ended and the new semester has begun. For some of us, that means trading our bathing suits for book bags and our piña coladas for coffee. For the Class of 2018, the long awaited journey to the college years has arrived. It is a time when Wheaton gear can finally be worn around […]
Dear Reader, Welcome to the Wire’s 29th Volume. It’s great to be back. I, too, am personally back, after having spent an entire year abroad at the University of Oxford last year.

Alex will helm the Wire after three years of experience as a writer and editor. He’s an immensely talented journalist and a lovely person, someone who is poised […]
Everyone has heard the expression “time flies,” but no one person actually grasps its true meaning until that person is a senior about to graduate from college. For the seniors at Wheaton, this is the last time you will be thinking about the Honor Code. This is the last time you will actually consider swimming […]
It was that time of the year when the smell of freshly printed flyers filled the air and chalk campaigns took over the pavement. Wheaton’s SGA elections have come and gone. Under the spotlight was the open position of SGA President. With current President Joey Campbell’s ’14 approaching graduation, this year Wheaton was very lucky […]
I’d like to take a minute to talk about integrity. First off, yes: this is a response to Dean of Students Lee Williams’ latest D-Log, a piece that I think mostly hit the nail on the head. However, I believe one implication in her article was off-base, and I’d like to address it respectfully. I […]
