A Strong Regional, First-choice
University of High Distinction
Elevate: A Campaign for Wesleyan reflects North Carolina Wesleyan University’s roots in the civic mission of our founders, leaders who had the foresight to place an institution of higher education in Rocky Mount to capitalize on an auspicious moment. As a newly fledged university, Wesleyan is uniquely situated to anchor a new educational vision for northeastern North Carolina - a region that is well-positioned for sustainable growth and focused on the future.
The Elevate Wesleyan campaign promises to lift every element of our institution as we launch new programs, integrate with and stimulate the economy, and serve the communities that helped give us birth.
Living into the promise of this new day at North Carolina Wesleyan will require support from our alumni, parents, faculty, staff and community. Together, we can raise up this institution to serve as both a reflection of, and an inspiration for, a new eastern North Carolina that is mindful of its past and committed to a bright future.
While our heritage and foundation are solid, now is the time to elevate North Carolina Wesleyan University to a stronger regional, first-choice university of high distinction. Together, we can Elevate Wesleyan to new heights.

I never thought higher education would be in the cards for me. I spent three years as a student at NCWU and in every class, and with every staff interaction, everyone I encountered encouraged me every single day. I graduated at 46 years old. If you’re contemplating whether your time has passed…it hasn’t!

BS in Exercise ScienceWesleyan has meant a lot to me and to my family, especially since my father taught here for so many years. It has always been a part of my life since 1961. I believe in North Carolina Wesleyan! I think what it has done for the eastern region of North Carolina, and for the city of Rocky Mount, proves that it is worth investing in. Furthermore, I feel it is my responsibility to support Wesleyan for the education it gave me.
