On March 23, Logan Adkins, a sophomore studying fashion and textile management, made her first gift during NC State\u2019s annual Day of Giving<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked which area she’d like to support, Adkins made her selection without hesitation: the Wilson College of Textiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a scholarship recipient myself, I\u2019ve benefited immensely from donor support,\u201d Adkins says. \u201cI wanted to pay it forward to the college that has given me so much.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members of the Wilson College of Textiles community joined Adkins in rallying together to raise more than $1 million for students, staff, faculty and innovation in research and education on Day of Giving \u2014 for the third year in a row. The university\u2019s 24-hour fundraiser provides an opportunity for the Wolfpack to jointly help NC State achieve more through generous giving.<\/p>\n\n\n

This year, the Wilson College\u2019s primary focus on Day of Giving was student funding and the life-changing effect that scholarships have on the next generation of textile leaders. In turn, the Wilson College of Textiles raised $1,194,161.98 from 612 gifts \u2014 with more than $1 million of that total amount going to support 15 college-wide scholarship funds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Wilson College\u2019s Day of Giving donors answered the call for support by investing in our students as they shape the future of the textile industry,\u201d says David Hinks, dean of the Wilson College of Textiles. \u201cBecause of you, we will be able to provide even more impactful and meaningful experiences to our current and future students and enable them to become extraordinary think and do leaders.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
