Alumni Association

You help to make our association of over 19,000 Wheaton alumni strong. You continue to count on each other and contribute to the college community.

You provide internships and career information to students and one another. You help each other stay in touch with classmates–and introduce each other to new friends in new cities. You provide a critical link between prospective students and today’s Wheaton. Last but not least, your financial support ensures that future generations of young women and men have the same wonderful Wheaton education that you had.

The Alumni Association is governed by a board of directors, nominated by you and representing the interests and needs of our members. Wheaton and the association depend on more than 1,100 volunteers to provide all of the outreach and opportunities described above. Read on to learn more about how you can support Wheaton and your alumni association–and what we can offer you!

The Alumni Relations team and the Alumni Board of Directors are asking you to share interesting news and stories about yourself or fellow alumni. Do you know someone who has made an impact in their community, received an award in their professional life, or are dedicated to Wheaton community?
