The Opportunity Fund will assist students, faculty, and staff in generating positive change in the University and regional communities.
President Ronald Berry, joined by his wife, Dr. Christine Berry, started the fund with a personal commitment of $100,000.
It will be a flexible fund to support a wide variety of activities not typically funded through individual colleges or specific departments. We want to remove obstacles for people creating life changing opportunities for others.
A committee comprised of faculty and staff will annually evaluate proposals from ULM faculty, staff, and students to make funding selections. Applications for 2022-23 are due October 15.
Examples of potential funding include but are in no way limited to:
• Programs that improve diversity, equity, and inclusion
• Programs that connect the regional community to ULM as a source of service, knowledge, or research
• Programs that develop leadership for faculty, staff, students, or segments of the community
Please consider a gift to the Opportunity Fund today.
Your generosity has a direct impact on our students, faculty, and staff. Gifts of any amount may be made to the fund, and it will make a significant difference at ULM.
