Bruce
Davis is a former co-owner of Freeman Beverage who recently bought 18 Beltone
Hearing Centers in Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland. He has also served as
chief liaison to the president at Germanna.
GCC President David A. Sam
praised the Davises for their generosity in giving back to the community, both
in terms of funds and time
After their hard work paid
off in business success, he said. “they decided to invest in Germanna and our
students.”
Davis noted that the
definition of “atrium” is any chamber that’s connected to other chambers or
passageways and that “all kinds of students pass through here.”
Another definition, he said,
is the upper chamber of the human heart.
Davis said that he and his
wife, in their time in Fredericksburg since coming here in 1989, have tried to
invest in the community not only here at GCC, but through the Germanna
Historical Foundation and the Lions Club.
“It’s part of our heart,” he
explained.
Davis said community colleges
are making a difference today, “transforming lives in a way never seen before…
“It used to be that if you
graduated from high school you did OK, but if you got a four- year degree you could
do a lot better,” he said. “Now, companies don’t always want someone with a
four-year degree. They often want someone with an associate’s degree they can
train and immediately get into their workforce.”
Davis said Germanna “helps
transform so many lives of young people who don’t necessarily always have the
advantages some of us have. That’s why we’ve invested in the college and in
other things as well.
“Because the heart pumps blood out into the body,” he said, “and the body’s the community.”
