In 2025, Beta Theta Pi will host three summer sessions of the Wooden Institute in Oxford, OH. Each session brings together over 70 collegiate me from across North America and 16 facilitators (14 small group facilitators - 7 Betas and 7 Friends of Beta working in teams of two - and 2 lead facilitators) in Beta's birthplace for 4 days of brotherhood, values-focused personal development, and fun! The Wooden Institute serves as Beta's emerging leader experience.
Small group facilitators are responsible for leading groups of 8-12 collegiate Betas. They help develop the connection between those members, principled leadership, and being a member of Beta Theta Pi. Small group facilitators also drive participants toward setting personal and chapter related goals. This role requires small group facilitators to be strong relationship builders!
Lead facilitators facilitate large group sessions; they are responsible for educating about the main concepts taught while setting and driving the culture of the session. The Lead Facilitators also train and develop the facilitator team.
The dates for the Wooden Institute are:
- Summer Session 1: May 31-June 3, 2025
- Summer Session 2: June 7-10, 2025
- Summer Session 3: June 21-24 , 2025
