If you were to go online and search Dennis Hanno, Wheaton’s president-elect, there would be a number of articles describing the wonderful things he has done for Babson College. If you dug a little more, you would unearth an old Facebook campaign run by Babson College alumni and students to have him elected as Babson’s […]
Wheaton College is proud to present The World’s Coolest Dad: David LaFerriere. LaFerriere is no ordinary dad. By day, he is a graphic designer for Wheaton’s Office of Communications.

We all know the different types of weekenders: the hot mess, the silent drunk, the faker, the lightweight, etc. But what most of us do not know are the school’s policies regarding alcohol.
