With four generations of Clevelands seated in the Brenau Downtown Center in Gainesville, Brenau President Ed Schrader thanked the family for its continued support Friday in funding the physical therapy school. Schrader presented Mary Cleveland with the Mary Mildred Sullivan Award, the highest non-academic honor that served as a “recognition of a culmination of a life of good work, of civilized and caring service.” The university reached a $300,000 gift agreement with John Cleveland in deciding to name the physical therapy wing’s lobby in honor of his parents Mary Cleveland and the late Ralph Cleveland.
