Eudora Welty Series
Welty Gala

2022 Welty Gala

Unfortunate Cancellation

We are extremely disappointed that our speaker, Henry Winkler, has canceled due to an extension of his filming contract for “Barry." We were looking forward to a wonderful evening in support of scholarships at The W and are so sorry to share this news.

Several options are available for redirecting your contribution to the Gala.

  • You may request a full refund.
  • You may apply your contribution to next year’s event.
  • You may direct your full contribution to The W Scholarship Fund.
  • You may direct your full contribution to another fund of your choice.

Please contact us at developmentandalumni@muw.edu with your request or call (662) 329-7148. Credit card refunds will be issued within two business days, and the refund will appear on your account within ten days.

Thank you for your support of our students and our university. We hope to see you for the 2023 Welty Gala.

The W Scholarship Fund

Scholarship funds help The W strengthen our dynamic learning environment to benefit our entire student body. Scholarship support does so much more than provide tuition assistance; it recognizes and rewards hard work and dedication giving students opportunities to hone career choice and pursue their dreams. Scholarship funds make the difference in whether or not many deserving students are able to attend The W.
