The Wilmington College Student Diversity Council is made up of voluntary student representatives from the different affinity groups on campus. We work together to identify student concerns (specifically, concerns related to underrepresented and marginalized groups on campus) and to develop solutions to those issues. We believe that we should utilize our commonality as WC students to work toward a campus environment where EVERYONE can thrive.
Wilmington College Connections Program
This program is designed to make an underrepresented student’s transition to college a successful one. This program matches incoming students with returning student leaders who have received training to serve as mentors. “Connections” is the operative term for this program as our mission is to connect with the incoming student and assist them to connect with the WC campus and resources. Many of our current student leaders are products of this program.
