A Message from the President of Wilson College

A Message from the Vice President for Institutional Advancement

Thank you. Two simple words, eight letters: a year’s worth of  gratitude within them.

Dear Alumnae, Alumni, and Friends,
Your support of Wilson College during Fiscal Year 2024 has been incredible. Together, as One Wilson, we all rowed in the same direction and were focused on one singular goal - embarking on the second successful year of our three-year We Rise: United for Wilson’s Future campaign. With your help and generosity, we surpassed our $16 million goal by over $2 million, an incredible feat given we have one year remaining in the campaign. Furthermore, we celebrate the fourth-highest overall year of fundraising in the history of Wilson College, and the fifth year in a row when the Wilson Fund has exceeded one million dollars!

At the beginning of the campaign, we shared that the purpose of We Rise was to stabilize Wilson post-pandemic and build a sustainable future. Because of your commitment to our beloved institution, it was an absolute joy when we were able to raise the overall goal of the campaign to $20 million. And, I have every confidence we will reach that milestone! You are helping Wilson move from stabilized to sustainable – the next level is thriving.

Thank you for the past year. Thank you for your support today. Thank you for loving Wilson as much as we do!

In gratitude,
Angela Zimmann
