Student Philanthropy Committee

What is the Student Philanthropy Committee?

The Student Philanthropy Committee was created for students to promote philanthropy through education and the Berea Patrons. Our goal is to create a culture of giving back to Berea and ultimately, provide future Bereans with an invaluable, life-changing education. The committee will provide the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of philanthropy and advancement while helping its members gain experience in a relevant field. There will be an emphasis on developing skills in business, event planning, interpersonal communication, marketing, social media, and cultivating valuable alumni relations.
