Mary and Jerry '83 Bermingham

Jerry's Major: Psychology

"My experience with Students and Teachers expressing their appreciation for the personnel impact we have had on their lives has warmed my heart and made me proud of my participation on the College Foundation Board.  I was motivated to make a Powered by you Challenge gift to encourage participation, and perhaps light a spark, especially with first time donors who can share the same joy and pride. "

The Hart Family joined together to endow a scholarship to support Business Economic majors with financial need.
