Throwback to Hoop Roll, the pandemic edition.

The senior hoop roll is a tradition dating back to 1912. The event is reserved for graduating seniors. Students chase hoops and race each other across campus. The race begins on the Wallace Library steps and finishes at the Hebe statue.

Traditionally, the winner is supposed to be the first in the class to marry. Most students, however, enjoy the event for good fun and competition. https://bit.ly/3h63BKm

Thanks to Wheaton Sustainability Board, Wheaton has its first pollinator garden.

Some details from Wheaton Sustainability Board on the garden:
The walls of the garden are made out of Ecobricks, which are plastic water bottles stuffed with single-use plastic collected during the spring 2021 semester from Wheaton students in collaboration with Campus Life and Wheaton Resident Advisors. The stuffed bottles are cemented together using a natural cob mixture— featuring clay harvested from the Wheaton Woods!

Katie Banks Hone ‘97, a Wheaton alumna that runs a native plant nursery in Ipswich, MA graciously donated native pollinator-friendly perennial plants and mulch. She also came to campus to advised the students during the planning and installation of the garden. Katie was one of the first Wheaton Environmental Science majors and still works in pollinator conservation today.

The garden is located across from the basketball courts near Meadows, and we hope that as the plants continue to flourish, it will become a space for community members to reflect on the importance of our native ecosystem and also acknowledge that while humans can produce a destructive amount of waste, creative thinking and teamwork can turn it into something beautiful and productive for our Earth.

Due to the Covid-19 restrictions in place at the time, this event couldn’t go on as usual.
