"Being a member of the Barat Foundation has given me the opportunity to experience the functions of a board, to familiarize myself with financial terms and gain financial literacy, to work in a field not easily accessible to young adults and women, and most of all to develop a philanthropic spirit." Ursina Beerli ‘05

"The Barat Foundation is truly a blessing which has had a substantial impact on my life…Within just a few months of college I have already had the opportunity to utilize my knowledge of mission statements and by-laws in drafting a community service proposal.  Membership on the Barat Foundation has, in fact, instilled within me such an appreciation for philanthropy that I now intend to incorporate it into my later life as I begin my career."
