Homecoming

Hoopfest

Held every fall, Hoopfest is Wilmington University's largest athletic event, and opportunity for all WilmU students to show their Wildcat pride.

Volunteer Events 

Each year, Student Life organizes a variety of community service projects where students can volunteer their time and give back to our local communities. Previous events have included partnerships with Habitat for Humanity and UrbanPromise Wilmington. 

Student Leadership Summit

Each Fall, a group of students participate in a one day interactive and engaging retreat filled with teambuilding, leadership development, and more! Once students complete the Summit, they are eligible to apply to become paid Student Ambassadors for the University. Throughout the year, the group of students will also work together on a particular community service project.
