Milwaukee native Autumn Green felt at home immediately. “I really liked how friendly everyone on campus was and how diverse the student body was,” she says.

But Wilson and his team flew into action to support, retain, and recruit this important cohort of students. Wilson is one of five alumni we feature who are bringing their best work forward at a time of great need.
