Wilson Day has been a University tradition since 1988. In past years, the event was a day of service for first-year students during orientation. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic this year there will be an expanded array of activities making up Wilson Days of Engagement throughout the 2020–21 academic year.
This format will give students multiple in-person and virtual opportunities to connect with the community. All incoming first-year students are expected to complete two engagement activities per semester.
