Implausibly Cheap<\/h3>\n

With trips for only\u00a0 $40, the ability to go on unlimited trips for $135 (Technically not infinite trips, we only go on ~11 per semester), discounts for returning students, scholarships, and financial aid, WilSkills is financially accessible to everyone. You would be hard pressed to go on a cheaper trip with anyone else, even just buying gas and food for yourself.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/studentorg.vanderbilt.edu\/wilskills\/details\/#pricing” button_text=”Learn About Our Pricing” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”3.0.47″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” module_id=”meetings” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ transparent_background=”off”][et_pb_fullwidth_header title=”Lectures & Meetings” background_layout=”dark” button_one_text=”Lecture Schedule” button_one_url=”https:\/\/studentorg.vanderbilt.edu\/wilskills\/lectures-2″ button_two_text=”Location” button_two_url=”https:\/\/studentorg.vanderbilt.edu\/wilskills\/lectures-2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ title_font=”Roboto||||” title_font_size=”96px” title_font_size_phone=”36px” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” background_image=”https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-studentorg\/studentorg-prd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/11\/P4140102.jpg” parallax=”on” background_url=”https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-studentorg\/studentorg-prd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/11\/P4140102.jpg”][\/et_pb_fullwidth_header][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ transparent_background=”off”][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”0″ custom_padding=”0px||0px|” custom_margin=”0px||0px|” make_equal=”on” parallax_method_1=”off” parallax_method_2=”off” module_class_1=”ds-vertical-align” module_class_2=”ds-vertical-align” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” module_class=”ds-vertical-align”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-studentorg\/studentorg-prd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/06\/home5-e1498589030646.jpg” disabled_on=”||on” _builder_version=”3.0.102″ custom_margin=”0px||30px|” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” animation_duration=”500ms” animation_intensity_slide=”10%” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”right” sticky=”off”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”60px|60px|60px|60px” custom_margin_tablet=”30px|30px|30px|30px” custom_margin_phone=”0px|0px|0px|0px” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

Weekly Lectures<\/h2>\n

Every Wednesday at 7:00 PM in Buttrick 102 WilSkills has its weekly lecture. But these are nothing like those you’ve been suffering through during the day. Come see fellow students present on anything from backcountry cooking to treating hypothermia. These are the perfect way to break up the mid-week grind.<\/p>\n

Guest Speakers<\/h3>\n

Every semester WilSkills\u00a0features at least one guest speaker to deliver that week’s lecture. These range anywhere from park rangers to Vanderbilt\u00a0professors, to sustainability executives from international corporations.
