First-Year Focus Programs

In Wilkinson College students learn how to make a difference in the world around them and that starts with First-Year Focus Programs!

Engaging the World, Wilkinson College’s First-Year Focus program, combines course-work and extra-curricular programming to promote mindful reflection and thoughtful dialogue around critical social issues of our times. The program encourages students to envision the previously unimaginable and bring disparate ideas together in new configurations to cultivate nuanced and informed responses to current social challenges.
