The Campus for Tomorrow Vision is made possible by the generosity of one of USM's great friends, Charlie Berkel.
Charlie, founder and chairman of Berkel & Co. — one of the largest piling contractors in the U.S., passed away in 2013.
Charlie was a longtime supporter of USM and our students. And he generously remembered the university in his will, leaving the university a sizeable gift — including $6.5 million earmarked for the Berkel Stadium project.
Why Support the Campus for Tomorrow?
"The educators at USM are much more than professors—they are my mentors, advisors, and more importantly, my friends. They form an intellectual community that fosters critical thinking and enriches the lives of their students every day. I am eager to learn because they are eager to teach. This is a university that puts student growth and success first."

Why Support the Campus for Tomorrow?
"Saint Mary students, faculty, and alums are at the heart of our educational mission. The campus improvement project will blend the current university facilities with the creation of new and expanded buildings and student space—where our community can study, perform, live, cheer, and collaborate in new ways. It's a great time to be a Saint Marian."
