University Center on Main (UCOM)!
The Step Up Rock Wall and Ropes Course offers experiential learning experiences… to Wilkes University students, faculty, staff and local high school students. There
are a wide variety of programs that focus on teamwork, communication, goal setting,
problem solving, conflict resolution, trust building, group bonding, leadership, mentoring
as well as individual and cultural similarities and differences. The course is a great
tool that fosters personal and professional development. The course itself is housed in the UniversityCenter on Main (Ucom).
The facilitators of the Step Up Rock Wall and Ropes Course are Wilkes University… staff, faculty, and student leaders. The Step Up staff comes from a variety of backgrounds
and experiences that enhances our program and helps to design our initiatives which
enables us to make each groups’ experiences unique. The staff is trained and certified
through EdVenture Builders, and as part of the training and certification the staff
must complete all of the low and high elements. Therefore, the staff knows first hand
what challenges arise and they have the ability to relate to each person who participates
in the course.
