During his 19 years as president, Steve Briggs has championed a residential education experience that shapes Berry students in profound ways.

When asked what they would love to accomplish in their final year at Berry, Steve and Brenda Briggs pointed to support for the kinds of experiences that often have a life-altering and sustained effect on students, including: International Experiences, Service / Mission Experiences, Mentored Research Projects and Professional Internships.

The Purposeful Experiences Fund has been established in their honor as a way toward making meaningful student learning opportunities available for all students, including those hindered by financial need.

Your support can help open doors to profound experiences for our students.
