The Mount St. Mary’s University community demonstrated its Mount pride during One Mount One Day, the university’s annual day of giving. This was the most successful day of giving to date. Nearly 1,000 donors gave more than $1 million to help further the mission of the Mount and create opportunities for students.
Robert W. Bream, a Gettysburg native, developed his commendable work ethic by picking cherries, delivering flowers and working in grocery stores in Adams County, starting at the age of 14. However, he struggled as a young man to overcome numerous obstacles and challenges. He had a strong drive to succeed, but influential individuals in his life didn’t recognize or nurture his potential. That changed when Mount St. Mary’s University accepted him as an undergraduate student and offered him the opportunity and encouragement to change his life.
