In Memoriam
As the College 2025 committee finished its work and began preparation of this report, member Merri Brantley unexpectedly passed away after attending the annual University System of º¬Ðß²Ý Foundation gala in Atlanta. Ms. Brantley’s decades-long career in public service made her a mainstay at the º¬Ðß²Ý Capitol and fierce advocate for education across the state. We appreciate and honor her legacy.
