WU Philosophy
Wilson University has a foundational philosophy that provides a contextual framework for the pursuit of its mission.
- Humans, as citizens of an amenable universe, are uniquely bearers of potential which is greater than the sum of finite individuality. Herein is the source of human dignity, destiny, and responsibility.
- Individual wholeness originates in the human spirit.
- Full individuality is possible only through full participation in one’s world.
- Individual human worth assumes a distinction that transcends mere survival, making creative and substantive contributions to the greater society a worthy and fulfilling pursuit. Society is more than a collective effort to survive. Herein is the meaning and nobility of work.
- Human potential is to be developed. WU is an agent of exploration and development of this potential by facilitating individual efforts to bring this potential from abstract vision to concrete reality.
- As a Christian university, WU attempts to lead the student to explore these challenges and possibilities in the anticipation, direction, and understanding of the Christian message.
- WU is established on the premise that the public good is affected most enduringly by focusing on individual good. Public character of the community is the cumulative total of individual character, knowledge, and wisdom. Thus, WU is committed to, at the highest standard possible, optimum development of individual student character, learning, understanding, and application of these principles to everyday life.
