For Students
Character can be taught in the classroom, but for it to become integrated into the life and identity of the learner, we offer opportunities for concrete application that enables students to integrate their knowledge, values, and experiences.
Story, Health, and Healing Graduate Cohort
Each semester, the WFU Humanities Institute’s Story, Health, and Healing Initiative, in partnership with the Program for Leadership and Character, hosts the Narrative Medicine Cohort. The cohort introduces participants to a set of writing, reading, and listening practices they can use to process their experiences with illness, healing, and the healthcare system.
Leadership and Character in the Law Cohort
Wake Forest’s motto Pro Humanitate (For Humanity) calls the university to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and character to lead in a complex, and often unjust, world. We take this responsibility seriously in the School of Law, and we are taking steps to become even more intentional about preparing future lawyers to live and lead with integrity. To that end, we have created a Leadership and Character in the Law cohort program that explores the intersections of character, leadership, and the law.
The Leadership and Character in Medicine and Law Cohort
The Program for Leadership and Character in the Professional Schools at Wake Forest University aims to bring together a small, interdisciplinary group of law and medical students to further explore professional identity (values, guiding principles, and wellbeing practices) through meaningful conversations and opportunities to build peer connections across disciplines.
