The Kern Family Foundation has awarded Wake Forest an $8.6M grant

The Kern Family Foundation has awarded Wake Forest University an $8.6 million grant to develop programs that put character at the center of preparing students for work in the professions.

The grant will expand the work of the University’s nationally-known Program for Leadership and Character to equip future leaders in medicine, law, engineering and other professions to think in holistic ways about their values and work.

“We are grateful for this transformational support from the Kern Family Foundation to cultivate leaders of character,” said Wake Forest University President Susan R. Wente. “As is our tradition, we will continue to develop leaders who will support the flourishing of their fields and of humanity in the spirit of our motto, ‘Pro Humanitate.’”
