Judge Betty Willis Ruben ’44

A Legacy of Success

The Judge Betty Willis Ruben Center for Global Studies at Mount de Sales Academy was made possible with a generous bequest from alumna Judge Betty Willis Ruben, a Mount de Sales Academy graduate from the class of 1944, who passed away in 2024.

“…Betty Willis’ young life was shaped by the Sisters of Mount de Sales,” noted a trustee of Judge Ruben’s estate, Ms. Lisa Fevola. “She credits those sisters, the education she received, and the lifelong friendships she made at the school with helping her become the confident, successful, driven lifelong learner that she was…She recalls her foundation at Mount de Sales as the beginning of all her successes.”

The global studies center will be transformative to the development of Mount de Sales students as compassionate global citizens and servant leaders, a deeply engrained component of the Academy’s mission. It will serve as the springboard for cross-cultural connections and immersive experiences to continue nurturing global relations within the Mount de Sales community.

If you are like Judge Ruben and many of our alumni, Mount de Sales has played an important role in your life. It is almost impossible to put a dollar figure on what your experiences are worth. But by making a bequest, you can acknowledge Mount de Sales in a meaningful way and make a lasting difference for future Cavaliers and for your own personal legacy.
