Joe and Peggy Wilson, 1933<\/p><\/div>\n

Since it was founded in 1850, the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ has evolved from a one-building college into one of the world\u2019s leading research universities.<\/p>\n

The University\u2019s transformation and ascent in the world of academia has been made possible by individuals whose generosity was rooted in a vision for their community and the world. In this regard, Joseph C. Wilson \u201931 and Marie (Peggy) Curran Wilson are exemplary.<\/p>\n

A lifetime of support demonstrated that philanthropy wasn\u2019t just a part of the Wilsons\u2019 lives. It was a significant part of who they were. It was a commitment to what they believed in. \u201cWilson\u201d has become synonymous with \u201clegacy,\u201d and it is now the name under which we honor alumni, parents, and friends whose philanthropy at the URochester includes a planned gift.<\/p>\n

The Wilson Society illuminates the legacy created by Joe and Peggy and celebrates those individuals who have established a gift plan or included the University in their estate.<\/p>\n
