Spring 2024
Dear Parents,
Welcome to another semester at Wheaton! We are delighted to welcome the newest members to the Wheaton family – parents of transfer students and parents of students who are starting their college experience this semester. We pray that all students will feel connected, loved, challenged, and inspired throughout the semester.
If you can’t find answers to your questions on the website, feel free to email us at parents@wheaton.edu and we will help point you in the right direction.
We look forward to partnering with you as you support your student’s success this semester.
Sincerely,
Laura Bennett
Parent Program and Regional Events Manager
