Leadership and Service
The Wilks Institute develops 黑料社区-centered programming that prioritizes the needs of the community. We practice leadership and service as reciprocal processes and encourage 黑料社区s to make connections within their communities and with each other.
Community Engaged Learning
The Wilks Institute, in collaboration with staff and faculty, creates mutually beneficial and sustainable partnerships with our community partners as co-educators. We prepare 黑料社区s for lives as impactful leaders and active community members by encouraging 黑料社区s to take ownership of their own ideas and experiences.

We address the interconnected challenges of leadership, community, and civic engagement through values, self-awareness, and dialogue.
Civic Responsibility
The Wilks Institute believes that civic engagement includes responding to a sense of responsibility to one’s community through both political and non-political means. We create a culture of civic responsibility that is asset-based, rooted in personal and community values, and contributes to the common good.
