E. Hudson Graphic Design Student Award

Many of you were influenced at UNC Charlotte by former Art/Art History Chair Eldred Hudson and his work to develop the graphic design concentration specifically. Serving as the Area Coordinator for the concentration until 2009, Eldred was instrumental in acquiring the faculty, equipment, and facilities that have since provided the framework for steady growth and program refinement in graphic design, digital media, and illustration.

He retired from the University in 2021 and I have honored him by committing to fund a $25,000 endowment - a forever award in his name - that he decided with me how the student will be selected each year.

Please join me in honoring Eldred. It doesn't matter how much or little.

Thank you for your support,

Banks Wilson
