Wilson College held the second event in its Strategic Seminar Series, focused on Conflict Management, on November 5, 2025, as part of its annual Career Week. The Q&A style session welcomed attendees from the Wilson campus and local community, offering an opportunity to engage with panelists from diverse professional backgrounds who shared insights on navigating workplace conflict. 

Conflict is an inevitable part of professional life, but it doesn’t have to hinder productivity, creativity, or relationships. Wilson College invites students, professionals, and community members to explore effective strategies for managing workplace conflict at the upcoming Strategic Seminar Series: Conflict Management on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, in the auditorium of the Harry R. Brooks Complex for Science, Mathematics, and Technology at Wilson College. The event will start with a networking session at 4:30 p.m.

At the end of Wilson’s Fall 2024 semester, four student teams in the Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management Course (BUS 220), presented their final business plans. Each plan reflected a semester’s worth of collaboration, research, and strategic thinking, pitched to their peers as if to real investors. The purpose of the project was to get students to think through what it takes to start up and run an actual business.
