When I read that quote by Dutch theologian Henri Nouwen, I’m struck by how often I sense this in conversations with so many of you. As donors to Wilson College, you’ve made an investment in hope. We don’t know the answers to all of the questions nor do we know the future – but we move forward in hope. You have entered into a relationship of optimism – of hope – that the answer will be clear: Wilson will continue to thrive into the future! You could just write a check or click a few boxes on our Wilson.edu/giving pages, yet time and time again, you do so much more. You connect with us. You share your stories. You give your time as a volunteer. You help us make impactful connections. Those who said “yes!” to our invitation to participate in the We Rise campaign and its goals are heroes. We see your hope reflected in Wilson’s students. Whether as enthusiastic first-years or passionate seniors, these learners are amazing, hopeful people because someone – you! - believes in them. We are very grateful to share that over 12.1 million dollars of cash in the door and pledges to the We Rise campaign were raised in this last fiscal year. Our aspiration is 16 million in three years, and in this first year, we reached over 75% of our stated goal! Furthermore, we celebrate the third-highest overall year of fundraising in the history of Wilson College, and the fourth year in a row when the Wilson Fund has exceeded one million dollars! When we share what we believe about Wilson College, we don’t have a crystal ball - we cannot see the future, and yet we have our hopes, buoyed by the supportive participation of so many other hopefuls. We believe Wilson College is headed toward an incredibly promising day. Know that our students - and our school - are evolving toward a future, because of you. Please continue to walk with us in this journey of hope. Thank you for the steps you’ve already taken. Small but mighty - We Rise: United for Wilson’s Future.
