Planning the future.

The late Janyce Q. Vaughan ’53, who majored in French at Wheaton, was engaged in many activities on campus as a student. She participated in vaudeville-style performances, contributed poetry to the Class of 1953 treasure box, served on the yearbook staff and was a member of the Tritons synchronized swimming team—her true passion. As an alumna who went on to a successful career at Ernst & Young, she enjoyed mini-reunions with her classmates, made regular gifts in support of Wheaton athletics and, in 1987, became a member of the Founders Society. She has honored her connections to Wheaton through a bequest of more than $500,000 that established the Janyce Q. Vaughan ’53 Endowed Coaching Fund for Artistic Swimming. Her generous gift will provide a permanent source of support to sustain and enhance the integral role that athletics play in the Wheaton experience.
