The Mary Washburn Wilson Lecture Series is supported by the Mary Washburn Wilson Visiting Scholar Endowment, established in honor of Mary Leigh Washburn Wilson (1922-2003) through a generous gift by her daughter, the Rev. Tillie Duncan, a member of the Gardner-Webb Gallery of Distinguished Alumni, along with her husband, Shannon Duncan. The lecture series is designed to expose students to new ideas and to make them aware of concepts not previously considered in an intentional way.
