Paving the way for a brighter future and inspiring the future of educationÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½¦
Mary Ellen Burris ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½™68W (EdM) credits the University of RochesterÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½™s Warner School of Education and Development with nurturing in her the skillset she needed to lead a successful career. Burris, who worked with Wegmans Food Markets for almost 50 years, was most recently its
senior vice president for consumer affairs. After retiring, Burris decided to give back to the University with an endowed gift, which will be funded through her estate. Her enduring legacy, in the form of
a named endowed Warner deanship, professorship, and a scholarship, will support academic leaders, faculty research, and student success.
ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½œBy giving back I can help facilitate opportunities for others, especially those who have or who will build careers in education. IÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½™m honored to play a role in the development of the school and the people within it.ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½
