Mission  
School mission By almost any measure, Warren Wilson College is an uncommon institution. One of six work colleges nationwide, Warren Wilson is further distinguished by its longtime service-learning program that helps form a Triad of academics, work and community service. Students, faculty and staff work together to preserve community and inspire personal growth. Although the 800 undergraduate students have diverse backgrounds and interests, they share a common bond: a desire to make a difference in the world. The Triad's holistic approach to learning, which includes a strong emphasis on cross-cultural experiences and environmental stewardship, gives students the foundation to do just that.
