24 Dean of the College Professor of Government This year marked the return of Nancy Heer to Wheaton as the new Dean of the college. She’s delighted to be back after spending the past two years teaching in California. Dean Heer has been a quiet but active force on campus. Her lifestyle focuses on the word involvement! She has suggested many possible programs for Wheaton and is busily expanding current ones. Nancy Heer sees Wheaton in a very positive sense and feels that as a women’s college, Wheaton has the respon- sibility to insist women take themselves seriously and to prepare a woman to cope with the variety of roles she may undertake during her lifetime. She also feels the col- lege should instill an awareness of the alternatives a woman has in pursuing her individual goals. This is a challenging path to take, but with Nancy Heer as an excellent example and involved administrator, the growth of women at Wheaton is well assured!! Convocation Fall 1974
