The impact of a transformative education extends beyond the classroom.

The Pope Family's story is a beautiful reminder of how education can shape lives, strengthen communities, and create a legacy that continues long after a student leaves campus.

As we celebrate the impact of this year's Phoenix Ball, we are grateful for those who invest in students and believe in the power of education to open doors and create opportunity.

Thank you to the Pope Family for sharing their story and for their continued support of Cumberland University students.
