Story

Take a moment to remember your time at Dear old WU. Remember the fun you had, the halls you walked, the parties you attended. Was there that one professor who looked after you, who challenged you? Was there a special person at Wilberforce that shaped your life? We are certain that there was.

As you know, Wilberforce University is the nation's first private HBCU owned and operated by Black Americans. Our current students have been working with the University administration to identify key areas of improvement which will support increased enrollment and financial stability to ensure Dear old WU is around for years to come. We must support this institution as it is the first of its kind and stands at the forefront of the HBCU movement.

Your investment will help future generations, who were just like you to become thought-leaders, social change agents, entrepreneurs, and workplace professionals prepared and empowered to significantly improve the African American community and create a stronger, more just, and more inclusive America for all Americans.

Your investment will create a sustainable Wilberforce and honor not only her students but the history and legacy of the nations first private HBCU. Please invest today. Make an investment in honor of a family member who ensured you could attend Wilberforce or another student who offered you encouragement along your college journey. Donate in honor of your favorite professor or coach. Or simply invest in honor of God Almighty who ensured you made it through to become a college graduate.

Please invest today, "because WU started this, and our journey knows no end."
