About Wingren
Established in 1991, Wingren has for over twenty-five years played an important role in the lives of countless students.
Wingren helps students acquire the habits of a good professional. It teaches them to seek excellence in their work, to use their professional expertise in the service of others, and to see their work in the larger context of a flourishing life. Wingren’s programs are inspired by a Christian spirit which views the world as good, sees work as fulfillment of man’s nature, and emphasizes service towards one’s neighbor. The Christian orientation of Wingren’s programs is entrusted to Opus Dei, a Prelature of the Catholic Church.
Help us Grow
Wingren relies entirely on donations, and there has been a long-standing tradition of support from friends and benefactors, not least of whom include former alumni of our programs. Please consider helping our students!
You have a war-horse called study. You resolve a thousand times to make good use of your time, yet you are distracted by the slightest thing. Sometimes you get annoyed at yourself, because of your lack of willpower, even though you begin again every day.
– St. Josemaria Escriva, The Forge – 543
