Enrich Student Experiences at Walton College

While academics remain of the utmost importance, programming and experiences outside of the classroom are absolutely vital to our students’ success, both during college and post-graduation. To enrich student leadership skills and critical thinking skills, instill confidence, and expand students’ perspectives, Walton College needs support to expand the following initiatives:

• First-Year Experience Abroad – This program is designed to provide a study abroad opportunity for freshmen students who might not otherwise have the resources. Preference is given to in-state students who have not traveled abroad previously and have demonstrated financial need, to the extent allowable by law. 
• Leadership Walton Program – Leadership Walton is a professional development program for undergraduate business students, offering a unique blend of academic, leadership and career development opportunities specifically designed to guide students toward lifelong professional success. The program fills the gap between academic pursuits and workforce preparation through an enhancement to standard education experiences.
• Career Closet – Walton’s Career Closet provides students with gently used business casual and professional attire, enabling students who may not have the financial resources to present a professional image at career fairs, interviews, internships, and other business scenarios. Walton students are allotted up to four separates per semester or one suit per year, items that become permanently theirs. 

Transformative student programming and experiences result in students who are better prepared for the workplace and post-college life. Please help make an impact on student lives by investing in their experiences.
