Elevate the Campus Experience

Wheaton has long been a standard-bearer for world-class Christian liberal arts education. The Faithfully Forward campaign includes targeted projects that will attract top students and enrich their experience during their time on campus. Improvements to our Library and Athletics Facilities build consistency with the level of excellence for which Wheaton is known. These facilities represent key spaces where growth and discipleship take place and where future generations of Christian leaders are molded to serve Christ.

Expand Wheaton's Missional Leadership

Our graduates are shaping today's culture and sharing their faith across the world as they pursue God's calling. Their faithful witness makes a transformational impact in the lives of others. To better prepare students to share their faith in every area of contemporary society, the Faithfully Forward campaign expands investment in career exploration, academic support, resume-building internship programs, and Christian discipleship opportunities.

“Without the scholarships I received, I would not have been able to come to Wheaton. God is so good and faithful to provide what we need through the generosity of His people. I hope to use this opportunity to serve in medical or teaching missions, and I cannot wait to use what I am learning at Wheaton to serve God and His calling for my life.”

Sharon Ali '25

“Internships can be important gateways to post-graduate employment, now more than ever. A fully funded internship endowment would allow Wheaton College to finance more than 80 unpaid or underpaid internships annually for our remarkable students, potentially transforming their career trajectories.”

Olivia Zimmerman Lorimer '11, Director of the CVC

“The new and improved facilities will allow all student-athletes to receive proper recovery and care in the training facilities and open the ability for more effective and flexible training in the new weight room. Just as importantly, these improvements will reflect Christ’s love by allowing us to extend intentional hospitality to visiting teams, officials, and other guests.””

Soren Richardson '27

“Scholarships made it possible for me to choose Wheaton. I’m grateful for the generosity of others who gifted me the opportunity to experience this incredible, Christ-centered community and grow in ways I never thought I imagine”

Christian Tai '27

“I'm incredibly grateful for the support I have received from Learning and Accessibility Services (LAS) throughout my time at Wheaton. Because of the resources that LAS has provided me, I have been able to academically thrive in the classroom. I'm deeply excited about the plan to add more study rooms and spaces for LAS, so that they can continue providing support to students like me in the future.”

Julia Schmiedel '27

“Graduate education is changing rapidly, and the need for excellent Christian training has never been greater. Your investment in this campaign will give our students the classrooms, technology, and resources they need to thrive. These initiatives will ensure that Wheaton will continue to prepare scholars and ministry leaders for the challenges of tomorrow with wisdom and faith.”

Marc Cortez, Dean of the Litfin Divinity School

“Our faith is rooted in the Word made flesh and in the words of the Holy Scriptures. As faithful disciples of Christ, we are called to be storytellers, to proclaim the good news of the Gospel. The new Writing Center enables Wheaton students to fulfill this calling by providing them a space in which to write and to grow as writers.”

Alison Gibson, Director of the Writing Center

“A new library would benefit students who need that quiet space to study alone for an exam, as well as provide a place to collaborate on group projects with others. It’s not just another building—it’s a space designed to promote academic excellence and community.”

Jack Henson '27

“As a student-athlete, I am excited for what these facility upgrades mean for the next generation at Wheaton, especially the dedicated locker rooms for each team. I am thankful they will be able to create special bonds and memories with their teammates in these spaces. Having dedicated weight and training facilities for athletes will also make a huge difference in preparation and recovery.”

Gracie Crowder '27

“Giving to the Life with God Together Campaign will enhance our discipleship of students toward Christlikeness and expand the LWGT vision on campus to send them into the world to be spiritual leaders in ministry and mission’s mobilization, proclaiming the good news of Jesus while building the church in every corner of the world.”

Jared Falkanger '13, Director of Ministry and Evangelism

“This is a significant moment in the history of Wheaton athletics. These improvements will allow thunder athletics to continue our long-standing tradition of excellence while opening recreational space for the rest of campus. This project will also improve our ability to attract recruits while enhancing the overall experience of our enrolled student-athletes. Recruitment is getting more competitive, and facilities matter.”

Mike Schauer '93, Director of Athletics

“With your generous, prayerful support, the College will continue to educate global leaders who love Jesus, share the gospel, help people in need, and wisely address the world's biggest problems.”
