Be a place of belonging, proud of our heritage but inspired by progress, where all are free to be themselves and where diversity of thought is championed.
Be a platform to grow and excel at University and beyond, empowering Wilgenhoffers to become true agents of change and leaders of thought to propel South Africa forwards.
Fully support the law and spirit of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and the Bill of Rights contained therein, as well as the foundational values of freedom, equality and human dignity.
Stand in support of the statutes and values of Stellenbosch University, contributing to the uniquely rich experience of student life in Stellenbosch, with specific reference to the broader community.
Be a source of pride for its residents, Stellenbosch University and South Africa, broadly recognised as an institution of thought and leadership.

What are we currently doing?

Soup and Blanket Drive: A collaborative project with Heemstede to help Jesse Kriet School and do a night shelter. The two projects that are to be done over a two-day course will be aimed at uplifting communities and instilling a sense of pride. Impoverished schools and shelters need all the help they can get, Wilgenhof will be play a crucial role with Heemstede in catering for these initiatives and making them successful.
