CAMPUS NEWS AND EVENTS
Foundation grant supports curriculum enhancement
Wheaton has been awarded a three-year, $150,000 grant from the Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation to fund the college's Infusions Program, a key piece of the innovative Wheaton Curriculum. The grant will provide support for a full-time faculty member to work with professors to further develop the content and educational tools necessary to integrate scholarship about race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexuality, religion and technology in courses across the curriculum—from the arts and humanities to the social and natural sciences.

Night at the ballpark
A contingent of Wheaton supporters will be on hand at McCoy Stadium on the night of Wednesday, July 20, to see Chris Denorfia '02 and the Louisville Bats face the Pawtucket Red Sox.
