Year one of Truist Financial Corp. was quiet, recognition that it was better to delay the largest integration in financial services industry history rather than stick with an August 2021 deadline made implausible by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Truist debuted on Dec. 7, 2019, the result of BB&T s $33.5 billion purchase of SunTrust Banks Inc.
A year later, the bank has $499 billion in total assets as of Sept. 30, making it the sixth largest bank in the country.
The bank has completed its first year calling Charlotte its home, a key element of negotiations to secure the marriage of Winston-Salem-based BB&T and Atlanta-based SunTrust.
Winston-Salem State Universityâs Million Dollar Match campaign exceeded its $2 million goal by more than 60% providing almost $3.4 million for student scholarships. The campaign was possible thanks to Winston-Salem couple Anna Reilly and Matt Cullinan, who agreed to match any donations for need-based student scholarships between February 2019 and April 2020. Their nearly $1.7 million matching gift is the largest single gift from a couple in WSSUâs 128-year history. More than 500 alumni and friends of the university contributed during the campaign, creating 31 new alumni endowments.Â
âThis was a community-wide effort that created an important source of support for our students,â WSSU Chancellor Elwood L. Robinson said. âThe matching gift from the Reilly-Cullinansâto whom we are very gratefulâenergized our donors in a very significant way. The Reilly-Cullinans were great partners in this endeavor.â
