It was a mini reunion earlier this month for this group of Wheaton College Higher Education and Student Development (HESD) alumni!

The reunion, hosted by Vice President for Student Development Paul Chelsen ‘91 and HESD Program Director Olga Dietlin, took place at the Association of Christians in Student Development conference in Calvin. Great to see so many HESD graduates at this conference!

We're hiring for two great positions in Wheaton College's alumni office!

The Event Specialist develops and executes events for alumni and parents. This includes creating and implementing marketing plans for events, working closely with volunteers, and managing on-site event logistics. If you enjoy bringing people together and making events run smoothly, this position might be a good fit for you. For more details, visit: https://tr.ee/eventspecialist2026

The Communications Coordinator supports our digital communications efforts with alumni and parents through email, web, and social media campaigns. We’re looking for someone who is great with details, can handle multiple tasks, and who is a stickler about grammar and punctuation! For more details, visit: https://tr.ee/commcoordinator2026

Both of these positions work in the historic Westgate building (former president's home) on Wheaton's campus.

This past Saturday, over 30 young alumni enjoyed beautiful weather and great food at Topgolf Naperville! Shoutout to one 2026 alumnus who cranked a shot over 210 yards to the back netting. To the rest of us who hit the turf more times than the ball (don't worry — all incriminating photos have been deleted), thanks for being such great sports.

We hope to see you at another event soon!

Studies show that you’ll only spend 1.7 seconds looking at this post, and that odds are you probably won't read this caption. With this in mind, we want to use this space to list our favorite golf slang terms: wormburner, banana ball, barkies, knee-knocker, and frog hair. Pretty great, huh?

You’re still reading? In that case, come join us and other young alumni for Topgolf next weekend! Register at https://bit.ly/4eG1kFi

Alumni, parents, and friends who live in the Boston area recently gathered in Burlington, MA for a morning with Wheaton College. Mark Hanchett ’66 said this about the event, “It was a relaxed morning of getting to know other alumni in the area with important updates on campus happenings and initiatives, wrapped up with a fabulous speaker highlighting the many fascinating holdings of the Wheaton archives.”

Shout out to Head Archivist of Wheaton Archives and Special Collections, Katherine Graber M.A. ’12 for showcasing some of the one-of-a-kind treasures in Archives and Special Collections!
