Wheaton College Sociology Alumnus Noah Chung

Noah Chung '12

Master of Divinity (M.Div.) student, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, IL

Caring For Communities

"At Wheaton I decided to major in sociology, seek mentorship, join a Christian community, and take some risks by doing some urban ministry internships through my sophomore and junior summer. I cannot begin to explain how each experience molded me into the man I am today. These experiences shaped how I view society and culture, how I am to approach that with a strong faith, and how that empowers me to pursue my vocational calling."

Julia Wittrock Hensel '15

Strategic Sourcing Analyst, 3M

Thinking Critically, Asking Questions

"After I graduated Wheaton, I started a position in supply chain at 3M. Unlike many of my colleagues, I had no formal education or training in supply chain. Yet, because of my liberal arts education, I knew how to think critically and ask good questions, which allowed me to thrive in this position."

Wheaton College

We're excited to welcome Lauren B. as a new student this fall! "I chose Wheaton because I was always looking for a small, liberal arts school outside of the south where I could continue my study of Chinese and play golf. As soon as I walked onto campus Homecoming Weekend in 2015, I knew that was where I wanted to go."
