News
Sometimes the space allotted for the Class of 1989 in the Wheaton College Quarterly is too much and sometimes not enough, so send me your Remember When stories. From the answers and comments some of you gave on the survey, I know you have old memories to share. We can post them here at our site.
Photographs
Do you have any photographs from our years at Wheaton or from previous reunions? If you send them to me, I will post them here at our site.
SURVEYS
Of the thirty nine surveys sent in, not everyone answered every question and some sent their results back anonymously, so here are the results.

Class Gift
Our class gift supports Wheaton through the Annual Fund. This year's Annual Fund goal is $3.3 million. The Annul Fund helps bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the actual cost of educating students. While endowed funds are invested to ensure the College's future strength, the Annual Fund acts as a "living endowment" allowing 100% of your gift to be spent immediately on the College's most important priorities.
Our Annual Fund gifts are vitally important in supporting a wide variety of programs and educational experiences for our students and maintaining a select student body and committed faculty.
Gifts of every amount to the Annual Fund are important--no matter the size--our collective giving and participation counts. For those who can consider it, one way to set a goal for personal annual giving is to join the Mary Lyon Society.
