About the Fund
The Phyllis and Andrew Berwick Deanship in the School of Music and Dance was established by Andrew and Phyllis Berwick in 2019 to provide a flexible resource for the Dean of the School of Music and Dance. Recognizing the donors’ deep affinity for, and long term support of, the Oregon Bach Festival (OBF), a program within the SOMD, OBF’s annual funding needs and objectives will be considered among the school’s priorities when administering this fund. The donors hope that this deanship will motivate others to contribute to sustaining a vibrant arts scene on campus. According to Phyllis, “When people forget about the arts, they forget about what makes human beings human.” To learn more about the Berwick legacy at the UO, click here.
