The Weldon B. Gibson Distinguished Volunteer Award is the WSU Foundation’s highest honor. The award is named for the Foundation’s founding chair, the late Dr. Weldon B. “Hoot” Gibson (’38 Bus. Admin.), who through his unselfish efforts and energy gave shape and direction to the University’s fundraising activities. Receiving this award is an esteemed honor bestowed upon those individuals whose service is measured by the highest levels of impact and achievement. The award is presented during the WSU Foundation’s annual Recognition Gala each fall.
