Induction & Graduation

Students selected to join the WCE program sign a letter of commitment to complete the two-year lock-step program. They are then inducted at a formal ceremony where they receive the program’s signature Crested Blazer. Family and friends are invited to watch as each student is welcomed, and program supporters and faculty are recognized.

At the end of the program, students unite to celebrate their hard work and accomplishments at a special WCE graduation ceremony which includes a formal dinner and dance. Students work throughout the year to raise money for this event through activities such as BurgerFest. The ceremony, representing the culmination of a rigorous and rewarding program, includes the presentation of student certificates, recognition of WCE faculty and mentors and a video montage.
