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.
