WHEATON DOES A VERY GOOD JOB AT LISTENING TO YOU, HEARING YOUR WANTS AND NEEDS FOR YOUR EDUCATION; AND GIVING YOU THE SPACE, THE RESOURCES, AND THE FACULTY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

Check out a day in Kelsea’s life >

No one sees the world exactly like you do. Which is why we don’t impose lots of requirements. Our Compass Curriculum provides the flexibility for you to create the educational experience that suits your interests, meets your needs and prepares you for the future.

Major undertaking Kelsea Palm looked at Wheaton’s existing majors and decided she wanted something different. So with help from faculty members, Kelsea devised her own major: Environmental Policy and Management. “I had the luxury of knowing what I wanted to do after college: leading an organization working in land management, forestry conservation or some field in sustainability and ecology,” she said. “I want to be the person directing a program for the greatest impact and deciding where to focus effort. I think I’m good at that, and I really like the challenge of that type of leadership.

“At the end of the day, I know that the staff and professors are willing to go out of their way to support me, and that their priority is also my priority: graduating and getting a fantastic education.”

When she’s not in class or out hiking in the woods, Kelsea Palm can be found practicing and performing with fellow members of the Wheatones, one of the college’s a capella singing groups.

THE CAMPUS CULTURE IS VERY FREE. YOU ARE FREE TO BE YOURSELF. YOU ARE FREE TO IDENTIFY AS WHO YOU WANT TO BE, AND YOU ARE FREE TO EXPLORE YOUR IDENTITIES. WHEATON ISN’T JUST AN ACADEMIC INSTITUTION; IT ISN’T JUST AN ARTISTIC OR CREATIVE COMMUNITY. IT IS, QUITE LITERALLY, BOTH.

Rules of the game Ervin Williams’ interests take him in many different directions: earning a law degree, developing a business, exploring other cultures, and board game development. “What really struck me about Wheaton is its interdisciplinary focus and the idea that you can have communities across campus that interplay with one another. That’s what has enabled my majoring in history and in business and management as well as being involved in organizing the entrepreneurship summit and creating my own business developing board games.

Ervin Williams’ interests take him in many different directions: earning a law degree, developing a business, exploring other cultures, and board game development.

“It’s all about the interplay among my different passions. My real interest is in relationships and how people work together. And in that regard, I realized that business, the law and history really help you to understand the rules that govern how people interact.”

While he organized board game tournaments on campus and created games, Ervin will be pausing his business plans for the next few years to earn a law degree at Boston College Law.

Ervin also appreciates how Wheaton’s culture has allowed him to pursue such diverse interests. Ervin’s budding business in making games represents another facet of his fascination with culture and governance. He said, “Games contain aspects of the cultures in which they are created and played. When you learn to play a game, you gain insights into the culture. And when you play, it also builds a sense of community.”

THE INTERNSHIP STIPEND I RECEIVED FROM WHEATON HELPED ME PAY FOR HOUSING DURING MY INTERNSHIP AT THE ZOO, AND THE EXPERIENCE CONFIRMED FOR ME THAT I WANT TO BE A ZOO VETERINARIAN.

At Wheaton, you will take an active role in your education. You will find opportunities to collaborate with faculty; shape campus life through student organizations and campus jobs; and gain skills and insight through internships, research projects and service.

Learning from (wild)life Charlie Racine learned to talk to the animals, or care for them at least, during an internship at the Naples Zoo in Naples, Florida. “One of my favorite experiences was helping to train one of the Gibbons, which was named Gibson. Each of the primates has their own little island, and you take a boat to get to them. When I would get close to him, I would yell out: ‘Gibson! Crate!’ He would swing down from his tree, put himself into a crate, and close the door. “It’s a safety skill. If there’s bad weather, like a hurricane coming, they would have him crate himself so he could be moved somewhere safe. It makes transporting them very easy that way. The fact that he could learn to do this so quickly with me, someone new, shows how smart they are. It blew my mind.

“One of the things I got to do was shadow the vet when she was performing procedures, or conducting routine examinations on a variety of animals, including a porcupine, a cottonmouth snake and a rattlesnake, and a ringtail lemur. “The internship stipend I received from Wheaton helped me pay for housing during my internship at the zoo, and the experience confirmed for me that I want to be a zoo veterinarian.”

When he’s not in the Mars Center for Science and Technology, Charlie can often be found practicing and playing as a midfielder on the college’s lacrosse team. Charlie Racine learned to talk to the animals, or care for them at least, during an internship at the Naples Zoo in Naples, Florida.

Bright by design During her first semester, Amanda Hodgkins took a half-credit course in digital fabrication out of curiosity and discovered a field of endeavor that has fascinated her ever since. “I thought it’d be fun to learn more, and I ended up really liking it. “So, I decided to take the Fab Academy course, which is a global program that Wheaton participates in. Every week we would learn about a different fabrication process and work on a hands-on project using that tool or process. It was a lot, but it definitely set me up where I gained a level of comfort with all the tools for any other design class.”

Amanda Hodgkins took a half-credit course in digital fabrication out of curiosity and discovered a field of endeavor that has fascinated her ever since.

After completing the course, Amanda was offered a campus job teaching other students—and faculty members, too—how to use the various tools in the makerspace.

“That led to my having the opportunity to go to Bhutan with a team from Wheaton to help with the construction of a fab lab, through a relationship the college has there. The Bhutanese government funded the trip. We helped set up their lab, and then we taught high school and elementary school teachers how to use all of the machines so that they could incorporate it into their teaching. It was really an awesome experience.”

A collection of Amanda’s designs— creative and colorful lamps and tables—made it to the college’s annual senior art show in the Beard and Weil Gallery located in the college’s Watson Fine Arts Center.

Global study? Sure, you can choose from more than 100 programs in over 45 locations—from intensive, short-term courses to semester and year-long programs. Nearly half of all Wheaton students elect to study abroad.

Writing the world Carlos Yu got a new perspective on his writing by participating in Wheaton’s Arts in Ireland course, a three-week intensive seminar that melds art-making with immersion in the rich culture and natural beauty of the island’s west coast. “That place is magical. You’re just drawing tons and tons of inspiration from the place and the people. Everybody’s in the studio, students and faculty. They are all making stuff and you are just drawn in. It’s great energy. “Professor Kent Shaw was reading my writing every day. We would talk about my writing, and he would make suggestions—try this, read this piece, check out this spot.” Yu also credits Professor Shaw with helping him arrange an internship with Rescue Press in Cleveland, with support from the college’s

Cleveland Porter Fellows internship program. “That was my introduction to the publishing industry. I got to see the whole publishing process in action and now I have an understanding of how the business works.”

For the next year, Carlos will be traveling to Nigeria, Singapore and Hong Kong to immerse himself in the literature of resistance as a Watson Fellow, a grant program that funds a year of global travel and study on a theme developed by the student.

Silver Melendez wanted to try new things in college so when he got to Wheaton, he quickly joined the equestrian club, the ice hockey club, and the Model UN, all activities with which he had, at best, very little experience. “My agenda was to get involved in as many things as possible. There are a lot of opportunities on campus, and I realized that I couldn’t do a lot of this stuff at home in New York, because of the expense as well as the lack of accessibility.” “I saw the equestrian club’s Instagram account when I was accepted to Wheaton, and I thought it sounded cool. It’s been so fun, everyone on the team is amazing, and our coach is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. The horses are a little stubborn, but they’re really, really cute.”

Getting involved with Model UN happened on the spur of the moment, he said. “I remember attending the first meeting and finding all the members really, really personable, people that I would love to be friends with. And it’s been a really good experience. We just traveled to New York University for our first competition.”

Silver found a campus job as the interfaith engagement coordinator for the Center for Religious and Spiritual Life, contributing to the center’s social media communications and organizing events for other students.
