Chief Scientist at Esri, Redlands, CA

Rigorous Scientific Foundation

"Wheaton provided me with the rigorous scientific foundation needed to enter top graduate programs in not only oceanography and but later on in geography as well."

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 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."

My Journey as a Novelist
