Jade Whaley '22
The arts hold a special place in many of our students’ hearts, and our student performers are pursuing degrees in a variety of fields, from engineering to psychology. Jade Whaley ’22, a math major and statistics minor, aspires to be a middle school teacher. But she’s also a member of St. Thomas’ dance team.
St. Thomas was a dream college for Jade; her family couldn’t afford the expense. But she thought, “If this is for me, my dad will let me go.” When she received the Madden Family Chicago Endowed Scholarship, she said she knew, “God had my back.”
