CAMPUS NEWS & EVENTS
Commencement Reunion
The weekend of May 15-17 was a glorious celebration of the Class of 2009 and Wheaton's enduring connections with its alumnae/i. View photos, listen to Governor Deval Patrick's address, and read about Commencement here. More than 500 alums and their guests joined us for the weekend, which is captured here in our Reunion slide show.
Arts in Ireland
Professors Andy Howard and Tim Cunard are leading 16 art students on a summer sojourn to the west coast of Ireland, where they will make art and immerse themselves in the region's natural and cultural riches. Follow the artists' journey through their blog.
Dimple memories
Hoop rolling. Dimple diving. Political speakouts. Falling in love. It all happens in the Dimple. For Wheaton's 175th anniversary this year, the Quarterly is planning a special fall issue, including a feature on the "social history" of the Dimple. What's your favorite Dimple memory? Send your story to Hannah Benoit (hbenoit@wheatoncollege.edu). We'll include as many as we can in the magazine and online.
True north
Sophomore Ted Worcester is in Alaska this summer, working at Coldfoot Camp, a combination tourist lodge and truck stop above the Arctic Circle. In his blog, "While in Alaska," Ted chronicles the challenges and joys of life at one of civilization's farthest-flung outposts. (Read blog.)
