We Are the Opportunity Makers

What does it mean to be an Opportunity Maker? It depends who you ask.

A group of ’Berg faculty, staff and administrators driven to help students succeed shared their opinions on that question, and we found their responses inspiring. From building bridges to making connections, seeing potential to finding passions, they help students tap into possibilities and say yes to … opportunities.
