"When I can no longer work for Berry, the alumni and friends will continue the work."
-Martha Berry
Martha Berry was an incredible
visionary. She dedicated her life to providing a transformational learning
experience for students willing to work hard to reach their full potential. Her
genius lay in describing her vision and inspiring people to help.
For more than a century,
generous benefactors and generations of alumni have banded together to answer
Martha's call to "continue the work." Today, this legacy of generosity lives on
through the leadership giving of our Martha Berry Society members.
