Iam fortunate to have witnessed firsthand the amazing collective that is the Butler Family. As you peruse this issue, you will see several instances of how the college, faculty, and staff were able to pivot and continue to meet the needs of our students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The stories inside these pages are only a small sampling of the monumental effort it took to keep the same level of satisfaction that Butler always strives for. We were agile, flexible, and creative—as everyone had to be.
The Foundation responded by raising money for the Student Emergency Fund in an effort to provide assistance to students who were met with insurmountable odds when they unexpectedly had their world turned upside down. If you gave to this fund, please know that without your help this would not have been possible and we are so grateful to you all. On this page, read the words from a few students who express their gratitude.
My hope is that everyone reading this is healthy and takes joy from seeing the continued success of Butler even in the face of adversity.
Warm regards, Thomas E. Borrego, J.D.
I am humbled and forever grateful for this support, which has had a huge impact in my life. This fund came at the time I needed it the most and I don’t know what I would have done without it.

Thank you so much, this means the world to me. I am currently trying to be independent and was trying to get my own apartment. I didn’t have enough money, but this gift helped make that a reality!

You have lightened my financial burden, which now allows me to focus more on the most important aspect of school: learning. Your generosity has inspired me to help others.
