WC Recruiters

Choosing the college that is right for you is a big commitment, and while we think that most students would love to call Wilmington College “Home,” we also want to ensure that we find students that will be a great fit. That’s why we send out recruiters, specialists who visit school fairs and other events, to identify future Wilmington College students.
