Continuing [BB&N’s] legacy, continuing its ability to evolve, grow, and move into the next chapters—to track with where the world is going and keep supporting and educating our kids— is deeply personal and incredibly important to me. BB&N has afforded me extraordinary opportunities in my life. Giving to the Bright Bold Next Campaign means affording students opportunities like the ones [we] had that I’m so grateful for.

It doesn’t matter whether you give $1 million or $100—every donation counts and is a way of saying thank you.

My hope with The BB&N Fund being part of this campaign is that it will energize all of our community to continue to look at The BB&N Fund in the short and long term as a critical piece of how we support the institution and faculty, staff, students, and financial aid going forward.

An investment in innovation is an investment in ensuring that BB&N remains at the vanguard of excellence. For educators, innovation brings a sense of renewal—the chance to take an idea you care about and turn it into something real.

We are so fortunate to be BB&N alumni and part of this incredible community. BB&N changed my life in many ways, and I wanted to start showing my appreciation for all that it did for me. Even if it’s a small amount, giving is a great way to say thank you!

Very early on, I realized what a special place this was—faculty and administration really care about students, seeing them for who they are, and constantly adapting the school to represent the students who are here.

BB&N gives students opportunities, mentorship, and experiences that shaped who they are, and supporting the school is a way to help ensure those opportunities continue for the next generation. For me, it’s less about the size of the gift and more about being part of a collective effort to invest in a community that invested in us.
