Campus Life
You’ll know it the moment you step onto campus; this is a place where you can easily feel at home.
The vibe is friendly. Plus, there’s something a little quirky about the people you’ll encounter here. There’s the ethno-musicologist who performs sacred batá drumming. And the biology professor with a taxidermy collection in his office. And the English professor who organizes medieval jousting tournaments on the campus lawn.
What happens after class?
You will be incredibly busy! Our students spend their leisure time working out, playing music, planting gardens, and rallying around a cause. About 25 percent of our student body join a fraternity or sorority, and 30 percent participate in varsity sports. The Office of Student Affairs encompasses a variety of student services—from the Office of Student Engagement who organizes a host of events to Residential Life who makes sure WC is a home away from home. Other offices from the Office of Intercultural Affairs to Career Development help our students develop into thoughtful citizen-leaders.
The student who makes the most of the undergraduate experience embraces every opportunity to learn, to explore, and to demonstrate the power of one person to make a difference.
