Wheaton College Office of Multicultural Development

Greetings from the Office of Multicultural Development Director

My name is David Sungwoo Cho, aka “Dr Cho,” a proud child of Korean immigrants in the early 1970s, born and raised in Chicago, my hometown. I later grew up in the “Western Suburbs” of Chicago, right around Wheaton College. I was formerly a tenured English professor and director of American Ethnic Studies at my last academic stop (thus the nickname, “Dr Cho”), having been in higher education since 1996, the author of a book of poems, another book analyzing over a hundred years of Korean American novels and their narrative patterns, with more books forthcoming.

More importantly, I am married to Sandy, since 1997, have two children in college, one in high school. I currently have the great privilege and honor to serve as “Director of the OMD,” here at Wheaton College, since June 2019. And what a great journey it has been, to join an incredibly gifted and talented staff, student leaders, and student body. Enough about me, let me introduce you to the office.

Kingdom Diversity

Kingdom Diversity is about:

• Enhancing our sense of belonging and connectedness,
• Learning from and understanding one another,
• Praying with and for one another, and
• Collaborating within our community with one another.

Our differences enrich our lives and experiences and deepen our love and appreciation for God’s plan.
