On Saturday, October 18, 2025, Wilson College made history with its first-ever drone light show, celebrating the We Rise: United for Wilson’s Future campaign and Wilson Weekend. Hundreds gathered on campus to witness a breathtaking 15-minute display of synchronized drones illuminating the night sky with vibrant imagery honoring America, Franklin County, and Wilson College.

Titled “We Rise: Honoring History. Inspiring Tomorrow.” the show featured a symbolic flight of the phoenix, custom visuals, and a powerful soundtrack and narration accessible via smartphone. The event brought together community members of all ages for an unforgettable evening of light, sound, and storytelling.

This milestone celebration was made possible thanks to the generous support of Wilson College, the Gilmore-Hoerner Endowment, Cherry Knoll Farm, Explore Franklin County PA, and F&M Trust.
