Connect Virtually
The Office of Alumni Relations and Parent & Family Engagement are here to support Wheaton community members as we all continue to stay connected and support one another, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we practice social distancing, this collection of online resources has been curated to provide our community members information, entertainment, and a way for the college to help you remain connected to one another, during these challenging times.
As our staff members are currently working remotely, rest assured that we remain accessible virtually to all of our community members. We’d love to hear from you, so please be in touch!

Supporting Students During Difficult Times
Note to Current Students
On March 11, Wheaton students were informed that the remainder of their Spring 2020 semester would be done remotely. As our students go through this uncertain time and continue to process their new reality, please consider sending a message of support and encouragement. Wisdom and well wishes from members of our community will brighten any day!
Student Relief Fund
We are asking alumni, parents, and friends of Wheaton to support our students by contributing to Wheaton’s Student Relief Fund. Your contribution will directly benefit Wheaton students and provide relief for financial hardships, which has and will continue to be experienced by our students.
Sweet Senior Send-Off
Every year, each graduating senior is surprised with a package of congratulatory messages from alumni. This year, we will be collecting your messages electronically and compiling them into a personalized document to be sent to each senior on May 16. Write members of the Class of 2020 a surprise note of encouragement, support, and congratulations!
