Seven years ago, the Wilson family solidified their rich legacy at NC State with a historic naming gift for the Wilson College of Textiles. Rather than serve as a capstone, the gift launched an even deeper relationship between three generations of the Wilsons, the college and the university. Now, a new $10 million commitment from the family, led by Elizabeth Creswell “Cres” Wilson Calabrese ’89 and Frederick “Rick” E. Wilson III ’87, to support the Wilson College of Textiles and athletics honors these connections while celebrating NC State’s future under the leadership of Chancellor Kevin Howell.
