Special Thanks. . .

Soundbreaking: The Campaign for Berklee has encouraged us all as support has come in for the campaign’s three themes: (1) creating a global laboratory for musical discovery and artistry; (2) promoting the power of music to change people’s lives for the better; and (3) transforming the current model of higher education. Our goal is that more than half of the campaign’s target—that’s $50 million—will be directed to scholarship programs, enabling extraordinary musicians from around the world to study at Berklee. To date, we have raised more than $74.5 million toward Soundbreaking’s $100 million goal.

None of this would have been possible without support from generous donors. Alumni, parents, trustees, members of the Presidential Advisory Council, faculty, and staff share a common conviction that Berklee is a worthy recipient of their support. We thank all who directed philanthropic generosity to Berklee during the fiscal year (June 1, 2014 through May 31, 2015).

As the number of generous donors has grown, we are delighted by the happy challenge of acknowledging a list of donors that has outgrown space in Berklee Today. Like many other colleges, we developed an online technology that seems particularly appropriate for the tech-savvy environment of a contemporary music institution. Thus, it is a great pleasure to share the URL for our new online site.
