August 28, 2024

Sixty-four first-year undergraduates were selected for the Class of 2028 Aequitas Fellows Program.

Wheaton IL Aequitas Fellows Program Class of 2028`Pictured Above: The Aequitas Fellows Program Class of 2028.

The Aequitas Fellows Program is a highly selective, four-year program that builds tight-knit academic cohorts around five distinct interdisciplinary themes: global public health; politics, philosophy, and economics (PPE); public humanities and the arts, sustainability, and urban leadership. Aequitas Fellows receive a generous academic scholarship from the College and take classes together, have funded summer experiences, and engage deeply with faculty and one another around their shared questions.

Congratulations to the 64 students entering the program this year! Their names are listed below by cohort.
