WSU receives largest gift in its history (2/10/2021)
With the largest financial donation ever received in its history, Winona State University has over $5 million to put towards student scholarships and the creation of a state-of-the-art gallery space in the Laird Norton Center for Art & Design, among other areas across the university. The gift, from lifelong patron of the university, the late Maynard “Mo” Weber ‘50, further cements his legacy as a Warrior.
“Mo Weber’s generosity and love of WSU knew no bounds,” said WSU President Scott R. Olson. “He helped kindle Winona State’s love of beautiful art, as well as our love of Warrior baseball, and for that and so many other reasons, we will be forever grateful to him.”
