Celebrating 150 Years of Hands-On Learning. Hands-On Living.
Wilmington College celebrated its sesquicentennial – 150 years of providing a value-based education to thousands of students from around the world. Our College community celebrated the trials and obstacles that the College has overcome. It was a year of reflection for the faculty and staff whose passion sustained the College through good times and bad. Alumni had the chance to recall the unique memories and relationships that were created while at Wilmington College. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we celebrated all the way until September of 2021. Thank you to all who contributed or attended in our celebration.
