Niki Gladys, Executive Director of Advancement at WNC, said that “Wells Fargo supports WNC’s mission of accessibility and is a model community partner. We are incredibly grateful to Wells Fargo for their generous donation, which makes higher education accessible to more students and helps them become financially independent. Wells Fargo’s continuous investment in our community empowers others to make better financial choices and build sustainable futures.”
