Speaking at the campaign launch, Andy Breuer, president of Hueber-Breuer and a member of the ESF College Foundation board of directors, emphasized the importance of investing in ESF’s mission.
“ESF has relevance on both a global and local scale. I know that when we support ESF, we’re investing in passionate young people who are engaged in the fight against climate change and other global environmental issues,” Breuer said. “We’re also investing in a practical, well-equipped workforce — as evidenced by the outstanding ESF graduates who work for Hueber-Breuer. For me, ESF represents legacy, practicality, relevance, problem solving, value, and opportunity.”
The donation comes as ESF embarks on its $40 million Campaign for ESF, which aims to expand student access, enhance campus-learning environments, and advance critical research, the college said.
