"My hope is that my name will remind future generations of students — especially those who are Black and brown and the ‘firsts’ in their families — that they too belong. Renaming Wilson College is my very personal way of letting them know that our past does not have to be our future," said Mellody Hobson, co-CEO of Ariel Investments. Hobson made the lead gift to Princeton University for a new residential college on the campus. Hobson College will stand on the site of the former Wilson College and will be the first residential college named for a Black woman. #highereducation #strongwomen #leadership #equityandinclusion #belonging
