MAP Day Fall 2025
2025-10-16 | Wheaton College, 26 E Main Street, Norton, MA, 02766, United States
This is a day for exploration, reflection, and planning. It is a celebration of learning in its broader sense. In place of regular classes, participate in special activities designed to reflect on where you are in your educational journey and the steps you need to take to make it where you want to go.
MAP Day happenings include workshops for students at every stage of their college career and advising sessions for each academic program area, as well as sessions on topics such as study abroad, life and career planning, honors and scholars programs, and financial planning. There will be a major fair and a graduate school fair, as well as other career-related programming. (The full schedule of activities will be available soon.)
The day’s events also include an academic session in which faculty engage in an interdisciplinary conversation to discuss the topic of “Abundance and reciprocity” from their disciplinary perspectives. The theme was inspired by the first-year students’ common reading selection, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World, by Robin Wall Kimmerer.
Answering your reflective MAP Questions is required for graduation and you can complete them during MAP Day. Please talk with your advisor if you have questions.

Urinetown...The Musical
2025-11-06 19:30, 2025-11-07 19:30, 2025-11-08 19:30, 2025-11-09 14:00 | Watson Fine Arts – Weber Theatre, Norton, MA, 02766, United States
Book & Lyrics by Greg Kotis, Music & Lyrics by Mark Hollman.
Winner of three Tony Awards and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself! In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets.The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America’s greatest art forms.
Tickets may be purchased online through the Box Office once they become availalbe.
