Sophomores in our high school's Honors Academy recently visited two college campuses. First, they toured Wheaton College in Illinois where they were able to tour the Billy Graham Museum and the Marian E. Wade Center which has exhibits and artifacts from several famous English writers including C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. They toured the campus and met with admissions counselors in addition to dining on campus for lunch and dinner.
Next, they visited Valparaiso University where the students took part in an admissions information session, attended morning prayer at the Resurrection Chapel, toured campus, and had an information session with the Dean of Christ College -The Honors College at Valparaiso.
