Care for Students

Every student matters—and we make sure they know it.

Wheaton’s C.A.R.E.S. system (Care, Advocacy, Resources, Engagement, Support) helps students stay connected, supported, and encouraged during their time on campus. Students can request help for themselves, or faculty and staff can submit referrals when they see someone in need. A dedicated wellness team follows up with care and resources tailored to each student’s situation, helping them thrive both academically and personally.
