The Wheaton Community
Student life at Wheaton is characterized by a strong sense of community. The college has a long-standing tradition of student involvement and participation in all levels of campus affairs. Wheaton students become aware that learning takes place both inside and outside the classroom, and they are encouraged to use their liberal arts experience as preparation for creative involvement in a changing society. A residential learning environment prepares students to become global citizens. Students at Wheaton acquire an understanding of and appreciation for responsibility by learning to manage their own lives, actively participating in institutional governance and engaging in community service. Women and men at Wheaton learn to work in partnership, care about others, balance independence and interdependence, and celebrate human differences. In the course of four years here, we expect students to become open to differences in race, class, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation and lifestyle, culture, physical ability, language and nationality.
