Rev. Dr. William Bowling '56
"I give because Wesleyan first gave to me, and I have an obligation to give back. I have remembered Wesleyan in my will, and I have also recommended youth to attend the College.
I encourage all who have attended Wesleyan to do three things. First, make an annual gift to Wesleyan - whatever you can do regardless of the amount. Also, do your part to encourage students to attend Wesleyan, and remember Wesleyan in your will regardless of the amount."
