Wilkin attended both The Latin School of Chicago and The Ethel Walker School in Simsbury, Connecticut. She has become one of Chicago's most treasured philanthropists. Some of Wilkin's contributions to the city of Chicago include the Prentice Pavilion (the largest birthing center in the Midwest region and among the top 25 birth centers in the United States) and the new Prentice Hospital. Wilkin is currently a trustee of The Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut and a senior trustee of The Latin School of Chicago.
