Stories of Generosity and Impact for Harvard’s Philanthropic Leaders
“Generosity drives excellence across the University. I invite you to learn more about the donors who are investing in our mission to ensure that curiosity, creativity, and discovery continue to thrive at Harvard.”
— Alan M. Garber AB ’77, PhD ’82, President of Harvard University
{ STUDENT SUPPORT }
Motivated to support students, Eryn Ament Bingle AB ’95 and Michael J. Bingle are bolstering crucial initiatives across the University—including financial aid, interdisciplinary research, civil discourse, athletics, and public service.
“I think a lot of people find their why when they come to college...Harvard was that place for me. We wanted to give back so that Harvard can continue nurturing students and opening their minds to possibilities.”
— Eryn Ament Bingle AB ’95
{ ACCESS TO EDUCATION }
A gift from Jerome Murphy EdD ’73 to establish a scholarship at the Harvard Graduate School of Education honors his late wife and supports nontraditional scholars like her.
“She was extraordinarily smart. She was self-motivated. If everyone in the room was saying yes, Susan would say no, or vice versa. It’s good to have people like that to avoid groupthink. She gave a different angle. She was special in a lot of ways.”
— Jerome Murphy EdD ’73
{ HEALTH & MEDICINE }
By supporting fellowships at the Harvard Global Health Institute, Katherine “Kathy” States Burke AB ’79 and T. Robert Burke have built a community of practitioners and scholars dedicated to developing local solutions to global problems.
“Harvard attracts people who care deeply, not just about what they do, but what they do for the world. I know each one will go out and do great things.”
— Kathy States Burke AB ’79
