At today’s commencement ceremony, Anil Kochhar announced that he and his wife, Marilyn, are making a remarkable gift to cover all the final-year education loans for the Wilson College class of 2026.
“Marilyn and I hope that all of you leave Reynolds Coliseum today not only with a degree but with greater freedom to pursue your goals, take risks and build the lives you’ve worked so hard to achieve,” Kochhar said.
Kochhar made this gift in honor of his father, the late Wilson College of Textiles alumnus Prakash Chand Kochhar ’50, ’52.
