Discussion Group Sign Up

What is College For?

During the first half of the fall semester, The Program for Leadership and Character will hold a discussion group that invites students into personal reflection on issues of leadership, character, and the good life.

This semester, we’re leading a discussion group called “What is College For?“ In it, we’ll think about the nature of the good life and how we can live such lives in college and beyond. All are welcome as we consider topics such as friendship, gratitude, and justice. 

Discussion groups will start on Monday, September 8 and will meet four times over the following weeks, once per week for one hour each time. Prior to each meeting, group leaders will send out short pieces to frame the discussion. Those readings will come from a range of perspectives and genres and should take no more than 15–30 minutes to complete. 

You can sign up by filling out the form below. The deadline to sign up for a group is Wednesday, September 3.

These groups are open to all Wake Forest undergraduates, so please spread the word to friends whom you think might be interested. If you have any questions, please contact Bradley Burroughs at burroub@wfu.edu.
