About the Program
Naming opportunities were created as options for alumni, friends, businesses and corporations to name buildings, spaces, departments, or faculty positions at Winston-Salem State University.
"We are delighted to support the needs of students at Winston-Salem State University, and to honor the legacy of Dr. Wooten for his untiring service to this university."
