A new record
for art historyEvery picture, print, photo and sculpture tells a story. Students in Professor Ellen McBreen’s course “Art of the Avant-Gardes, 1900-1945,” make those narratives accessible to the world. They analyze artworks from the Wheaton Permanent Collection and record what they learn in video podcasts that connect image and idea. “There is no one way to practice art history, or any discipline for that matter,” says McBreen. “The questions you ask, and the methodologies you use, depend on what function you want your research and writing to have.”

Taking the lead
In an emergencyCould you picture yourself providing medical care to a sick child or becoming part of an international disaster response team? Students who answer “yes” to that question can enroll in the college’s emergency medical technician training program, a semester-long course that ends with the opportunity to earn an EMT license. They practice their craft on campus, working with Wheaton public safety to respond to non-life-threatening calls for help on campus.
