Honoring:
At Wilkes University’s annual premier event, the Founders Gala, we celebrate our rich heritage while supporting our mission of serving first-generation students by raising money for the First Generation Scholarship Fund, which provides support for tuition, fees, textbooks and course materials for students who are the first in their family to attend a college or university. We also bestow the President’s Medal, a prestigious annual award, to those whose personal and professional lives reflect the highest aspirations of Wilkes University.
