Wishing our alumni, students, family & friends a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!

Eliza Wheaton was known to traditionally bake a sponge cake every time she entertained. This is her sponge cake recipe that can be found in the Boston Cooking School Cook Book, written by her lifelong friend and alumna from the Wheaton Female Seminary in 1864, Mary Bailey Lincoln.

Update: In a previous post we called on the Wheaton community to assist Professor Kathy Morgan in sending masks to Ramya Chaturvedi ’21, who is currently helping distribute PPE in her small village in North India.

Professor Morgan would like to thank all those who have generously donated. Pictured here is just a portion of masks that she has accepted. Professor Morgan is still continuing her efforts of supplying 1,000 masks to Ramya. If you are interested in helping, please email us at [email protected].

Ebony Williams ’08 believes the link, the thread, the piece of yarn, that connects her life work is her belief in process. While it’s common that human beings spend much of our time focused on the problem and the solution to obstacles that arise from living, the middle part, the journey we go through to reach our desired end point is where we learn the most.

Join Ebony virtually as she discusses the focus of her work, creating opportunities for individuals to indulge in the luxury of their process in order to heal. Wednesday, November 18 at 5 p.m. ET. Register here: https://bit.ly/32SDqR6 Arts at Wheaton
