Corrie Johnson
Immigration Advisor & Office Coordinator
B.A., Wheaton College, 1996
M.A., SIT Graduate Institute, 2017
As a '96 alumna, Corrie attributes much of the long-term trajectory of her life after Wheaton to the experiences and learning gained from involvement in various intercultural settings. Because of this, she seeks to be sensitive to the unique needs that international students have in adjusting to the U.S. culture and campus life in which they find themselves here. She is also passionate about supporting college students desiring to grow in their capacities to become strong and effective leaders in our increasingly globalized society. In this specific role, Corrie hopes to provide helpful assistance to F-1 international students as they navigate the immigration process, as well as provide overall support within the ISP in its goals to foster belonging, connection, and engagement for all international students at Wheaton.
Corrie and her husband, Jamie, along with their two kids, Micah and Abby, are grateful to call Wheaton home and love to host gatherings of new friends and old from all parts of the globe. Feel free to invite yourself over anytime, as you will be most definitely welcome!
