In Her Own Words
Hello, my name is Tess Hanson De Pretis and I am going to be your Admissions Counselor! I am so excited to hear that you are interested in attending Wheaton College and I cannot wait to embark on this journey alongside you.
The Lord led me to Wheaton in January 2018, and I graduated in 2021 with a degree in Anthropology. While on campus, I was able to participate in the Transfer Orientation Committee (I was a transfer student myself), Archaeology Cabinet, Feminist Club Cabinet, and I served as a Class Chaplain. Through programs offered at Wheaton, I had the opportunity to take summer classes in northern Wisconsin and to excavate Middle Bronze Age material culture in Israel/Palestine (ask me about other study abroad opportunities through the college –there is an extensive list).
I am passionate about fostering spaces of belonging for people, so I would love to walk with you through the admissions process. Wheaton College has a unique gift of providing a Christian liberal arts education where you are able to ask honest questions, engage your faith in the classroom, and receive a holistic college education. One of my favorite gems is our “Dine with a Mind” program – a voucher that allows you to eat a meal with your professor outside of class. Getting to know professors at Wheaton is one of the greatest gifts the college has to offer!
It would be wonderful to connect with you no matter where you are in your college search process. I know that everyone’s story is unique, so I would be grateful to hear yours. Please don’t feel shy about sending me an email to introduce yourself!
