Housing Support during Academic Breaks

Students are not allowed to stay in their campus apartment or house over Christmas break unless approved by the Residence Life Office. All students must move out of campus housing. However, if you have a need that does not align with the approved Residence Life housing policy and you have personal circumstances where you lack or are at imminent risk of lacking a fixed, regular, or adequate nighttime residence or whose parents or legal guardian is unable or unwilling to provide shelter and care during the academic breaks, you will need to meet with the Associate Dean of Student Wellness and HOUSE Liaison for the College, Dr. Carrie L. Williams.

Dr. Williams will work with the Dean of Residence Life, Dr. Justin Heth, to address your housing needs. Please submit a Support and Resource Request Form before the Housing Committee review deadline to receive housing support consideration. Upon approval of housing, you will be required to follow up with the HOUSE Liaison for ongoing support.

Food Insecurity Support

Share Meals at Wheaton College 

An organization developed and founded by Jonathan Chin, graduate student at NYU. Share Meals is dedicated to ensuring all college students are food secure. They want to empower students to strengthen their own communities through sharing food and we accomplish this through technology, activism, and advocacy.

Share Meals will help students connect with one another so that a student with an unused meal can give one of their swipes to a student requesting a meal. Students may request that such meetings be kept confidential.
