The renovated space now includes six new offices for Residence Life professional staff and Resident Assistants, along with a new home for the Center for Belonging and Inclusion, featuring a welcoming student lounge and office space for the Director. These improvements create additional opportunities for students to connect, build community, and access support.Thanks to the generosity of the Wilson College Government Association (WCGA), our Student Center has received a wonderful refresh with new flooring, lighting, fresh paint, and updated Wilson branding.
