  Message from the President

 

I offer you a warm welcome to Wilmington University.

Wilmington University is a teaching-based institution, which means that we exist solely to serve students. We dedicate ourselves to our mission of offering excellence in teaching, relevancy of the curriculum, and individual attention to students.

Our mission is to provide individual attention to students; however, we are equally passionate about providing a caring and supportive work environment for our faculty and staff. We work collaboratively to serve our students while supporting each other. Before we can offer an exceptional product, we must nurture an exceptional culture. And such a culture is grounded in respect and dignity.

We could not honor our mission without talented colleagues. We support your need to stay ahead of trends in this fast-paced, technological world by offering many opportunities for personal and professional growth. We want you to succeed, so please take advantage of the many resources provided to you. Your WilmU colleagues are friendly and helpful, and our support teams excel at customer service. You should never hesitate to ask questions or seek guidance.

You are instrumental in our success, as well as a valued member of a team that strives to achieve academic excellence–one student at a time.

We're happy you've joined the Wilmington University community.

Sincerely,

Dr. LaVerne Harmon
President
