Join "The Wesleyan 100: Corporate Partnerships"

 

Your business or company can support North Carolina Wesleyan and its students by taking part in a new program that requires no dues or donations.

When you become a member of "The Wesleyan 100: Corporate Partnerships," you are asked simply to make an effort to offer paid internships to Wesleyan students, and possibly provide hourly jobs while students are still on campus. We would urge you to consider Wesleyan graduates for jobs at your company when they complete their degrees. Scholarship assistance, although not required, would be appreciated.

            In exchange for your consideration, Wesleyan will provide you with a regular e-newsletter to update you on events and activities at the college. You'll also receive a plaque for your office showing that you proudly support NC Wesleyan College.

            By joining Wesleyan's 100-plus corporate partners, you'll show your commitment to our community, the college, and the transformational power of higher education. The college will be deeply grateful for your participation.

Are You Getting Credit Where Credit is Due?

If you are a married couple and your gifts are currently entered as two separate records, there is a benefit for merging contributions. The benefit of merging individual gifts could mean recognition in a higher gift category in the "Honor Roll." Also, a combined gift of $1,000 or more could qualify merged donors as members of The Wesleyan Society, which meets throughout the year to enjoy special events.

If you are not sure how your gifts are recorded or if you would like your individual gifts to be combined with the gifts of your spouse, please email trobinson@ncwc.edu or write to Tammy Robinson, Director of Advancement Services and Stewardship, NC Wesleyan College, 3400 N.
