After producing three redesigned issues, we are grateful to say that this year has been a record year.

Best Redesign 

While receiving awards affirms that we are on the right path both aesthetically and editorially, we remember that our main purpose is to share inspirational stories from campus and from you, our alumni and friends. As always, continue to send your stories, letters, photos, comments, and class news updates to editor@wheaton.edu, and share your favorite Wheaton magazine articles with friends and family using the social media icons at the top of each article page. 

In this autumn issue of Wheaton magazine, there are six words we are focused on: From the Heart, For the Kingdom. These six words introduce the College’s $175 million capital campaign and represent new campus buildings, a new liberal arts curriculum called Christ at the Core, initiatives to globalize a Wheaton education, and more. You can read in-depth about each and every “Remarkable, Relevant, and Reachable” priority in the magazine’s feature well as well as on the campaign website: fromtheheart.wheaton.edu. Most importantly, we pray that you will consider praying for the campaign and contributing financially as you are able. 

Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, support, and story ideas. This magazine wouldn’t be the same without you! 

For Christ and His Kingdom,
