Jeff '91 and Amy Eberly '92 Baumann

Jeff and Amy met at Manchester University as accounting majors. But they didn't start dating until Amy was a senior and Jeff had graduated and was working as an accountant in Fort Wayne. They were married on August 21, 1993. While they each found Manchester University in different ways, Jeff through a high school teacher and Amy as a member of the Church of the Brethren, their appreciation is the same.

They have contributed annually to the University for 30 years and made an additional investment in Manchester's mission by designating us as a beneficiary in their will. Their annual giving allows them to see their contributions in action while their estate gift allows them to make an additional contribution to benefit future generations of Manchester students.

"We give because higher education is important to us. Manchester prepared us well for our professions, gave us some of our closest friends, and most importantly, it is where we met! We want to give back to something that has significantly impacted our lives."
