The type of students and actual faculty members who congregate in that grass, under those trees, and within those lecture halls are the same you’ll be interacting with, and learning from, in every course. It’s the people who make Wilkes what it is: A small university that offers big opportunities, and that’s just as true on its virtual campus.
