LEGACY OF LIFEREADY

Look any direction on the Berry campus, and you will see examples of the student-centric progress made possible by the nearly 19,000 alumni and friends who supported the LifeReady Campaign with gifts of any size. The legacy of the largest fundraising effort in Berry history includes scholarships, facilities, programs and initiatives rooted in the character and experiences that always have set us apart.

Here, we are pleased to recognize by name those who played a leadership role with commitments of $10,000 or more:
