On behalf of the Webber Legacy Foundation’s Board of Directors and our Giving Committee, I am proud to announce Cristian Omoya as our 2026 Giving Year scholarship recipient. Our Foundation honors the friends and classmates whose lives left a mark on us, and that drive us to create opportunities for the Webber students today.
A little more about Cris…he is originally from Bolivia, and came to Webber International University to study business management. Cris brings with him an extensive background in content and audiovisual production. During his time at Webber, he has put those skills to use capturing Webber athletics, campus life, and the people and moments that have made the University feel like home to its students and faculty. Cris’ experience has also given him the opportunity to work closely with University leadership and across departments combining his business education with his interests in creative strategy as he prepares for life after graduation.
When asked to share his thoughts on being recognized by the Foundation, Cris said “I’ve been fortunate to have people believe in me and open doors for me along the way. Receiving this scholarship reminds me that people I never met can still have an impact on my life. I hope one day I can do the same for others.”
This is exactly what we hope our scholarships can do... carry the impact of those who came before us into the lives of those who come next.
Congratulations, Cristian. We’re proud to have you representing the Webber Legacy Foundation and look forward to seeing where your journey takes you.

To all the friends of our Foundation, and our fellow Webber alumni, we want to encourage everyone to come join us at the 2026 Alumni weekend on October 9-10th at the school. With events this year on both Friday and Saturday, it will give us more time to reconnect with all our returning classmates, as well as many of the students who have come after us...including recipients of our WLF annual scholarships. It's going to be a great time, and we hope to see all of you there in the Fall!!

Friends of our Foundation...take a minute and join us in registering for the upcoming Webber International University's Silent Auction being put on by Ryan Reis, Executive Director of Advancement and External Relations. All proceeds will go towards helping the school and the students continue to grow. There's no commitment to sign up, and take part in the auction. Thanks, everyone.

The University's mission is to offer students an array of business, liberal arts and sciences, preprofessional, and professional programs of study that create a life transforming educational opportunity which is practical in its application, global in its scope, and multi-disciplinary in its general...

Had a great time this weekend back on campus for Alumni Weekend and the "Clash on the Lake" vs. Warner!! The Warriors locked down a victory, and I got to spend a little time with some of our scholarship recipients for 2025. Great things are happening at Webber, so everyone start thinking about plans for next year's event...and the upcoming Centennial celebration we're working on!! Special thanks to Carl Buck and Mark Wright for coming in this year and taking part with me. Webber Alumni

The Webber Legacy Foundation is very proud to announce that Sam Henry has been selected as a recipient of our 2025 Giving Year awards. As we did last year, we will be making this award to Sam and all our scholarship recipients in memory of our friends and classmates whose impact on our lives has been the driving force behind our work at the Foundation.

Sam is from Portmore, Jamaica, and is entering his senior year at Webber where he’s studying Business Administration with a concentration on Sports Business Management. As a member of Webber’s men’s lacrosse team, Sam leverages his international experience in the sport to have a positive impact on the field for the Warriors. But Sam is not all about athletics, despite his high skill level. An accomplished musician on three instruments, Sam tells us he plans to continue developing his love of music for many years to come. Just as importantly, Sam divides his free time in service of several groups in his community, including his church, the local Kiwanis chapter, and the Jamaican Lacrosse program.

We at the Webber Legacy Foundation are very proud to honor all of the classmates we’ve lost with this gift to Sam, and we hope that it helps him continue his journey of service and success at Webber, and beyond.

Congratulations, Sam, and good luck in all your endeavors. We are so happy to have a young person like you representing our Foundation and classmates.

The Webber Legacy Foundation is very proud to announce that Thea Roque-Krag will be one of our recipients of our 2025 Giving Year awards. As this is our second year of giving, we will be making this award to Thea and all our scholarship recipients in memory of our friends and classmates whose impact on our lives is the driving force behind our work at the Foundation.

Thea comes to Webber from Copenhagen, Denmark and is entering her senior year where she’s studying Business Administration with a focus on Finance. As a captain on the Webber women’s soccer team, Thea has been a key part of the Lady Warriors’ success since her arrival. In addition to her athletic activities, she also commits considerable time to the Future Business Leaders of America chapter on campus. Thea has served as Vice-President of the chapter, and represents the University in regional and national FBLA competitions. We have no doubt that she will make a very positive mark on the world once her time at Webber is behind her.

All of us at the Webber Legacy Foundation are very proud to award Thea this scholarship in honor of the classmates we’ve lost, and we know she’ll carry their spirit with her along her journey through her final year at Webber, and beyond.

Congratulations, Thea, and best of luck with this next chapter of your life. We’re very happy to have you representing us and our cause, and we hope you stay connected to us regardless of where your life takes you.

The Webber Legacy Foundation is very proud to announce that Henry Benito has been selected as a recipient of our 2025 Giving Year awards. As we did last year, we will be making this award to Henry and all our scholarship recipients in memory of our friends and classmates whose impact on our lives has been the driving force behind our work at the Foundation.

Henry is from Miami, Florida, and is entering his senior year at Webber where he’s studying Business Administration with a concentration on Accounting. As a member of Webber’s men’s football team, Henry has become a natural leader on the team, leveraging his experience at other colleges on and off the field before landing at Webber in 2024. Like several of us, Henry is the first in his family to attend college, which will make his graduation even more special for him and his family. After graduation, Henry plans to enter the business world and put the analytical thinking and decision-making skills he’s acquired at Webber to good use.

We at the Webber Legacy Foundation are very proud to honor all of the classmates we’ve lost with this gift to Henry, and we hope that it helps him continue his journey at Webber, and beyond.

Congratulations, Henry, and good luck in all your endeavors. Remember the sky is not the limit!

The Webber Legacy Foundation is very proud to announce that Aidan Mercer has been selected as a recipient of our 2025 Giving Year awards. As we did last year, we will be making this award to Aidan and all our scholarship recipients in memory of our friends and classmates whose impact on our lives has been the driving force behind our work at the Foundation.

Aidan is from Daphne, Alabama and is entering his senior year at Webber where he’s studying Business Administration with a focus on Finance…but was quick to share he intends to pursue his Masters degree in Sports Business Management. As a member of Webber’s men’s bowling team, Aidan gets to not only compete collegiately in a sport he loves, but gets to use the experience to prepare for his intended career as a bowling coach once he’s out of school. Like many of our other recipients, Aidan balances the academic work of college with other responsibilities, including being a Resident Advisor (RA) for the men’s dormitory as well as an active member of the Future Business Leaders of America chapter. And he still finds time to give back to others by spending time coaching younger bowlers who are looking to develop their skills.

We at the Webber Legacy Foundation are very proud to honor Steve Kelley (our RA!) and all of the classmates we’ve lost with this gift to Aidan, and we hope that it helps him continue his journey at Webber, and beyond.

Congratulations, Aidan, and good luck in all your endeavors. We’re very happy to have you representing us and our cause.
