Bearnanza Donors Help Students Facing Emergencies

Thanks to the generous support of ¶¹°ü³ÉÈ˰æ alumni, friends, parents, faculty, staff, and community members, the 2022 Giving Bearnanza (Nov. 29 through Dec. 6) raised more than twice the funds as the prior year’s campaign.

Thanks to the generous support of ¶¹°ü³ÉÈ˰æ alumni, friends, parents, faculty, staff, and community members, the 2022 Giving Bearnanza (Nov. 29 through Dec. 6) raised more than twice the funds as the prior year’s campaign. Notably, just shy of $8,000 was donated to ¶¹°ü³ÉÈ˰æ’s feature fund, the Student Emergency Support Fund. This fund provides financial awards to students facing unforeseen crises and had been depleted prior to this year’s campaign. Thanks to donor support, ¶¹°ü³ÉÈ˰æ will be able to begin awarding these funds to students again immediately.

Marty Somero, Director of the Office of Financial Aid said: “We can’t thank our donors enough for these life altering donations. It is simply incredible the difference these funds can make in a student’s ability to stay enrolled and keep moving towards graduation. We all know that best laid plans can go astray and that unplanned life events happen. Having these funds to help ¶¹°ü³ÉÈ˰æ students when they are thrown an unforeseen curve really does make the difference in keeping the goal of graduation a reality vs. having to drop out.” 

Thank you to all the members of Bear Country that came together during the Bearnanza campaign to directly and immediately support ¶¹°ü³ÉÈ˰æ students! If you still want to make your year-end contribution to ¶¹°ü³ÉÈ˰æ, visit .
