NEWS from the Acoustical Society Foundation Fund
Leo and Gabriella Beranek
Leo Beranek’s manifest con- tributions, as discussed in Acoustics Today, Volume 10, Issue 4, are legend. In reso- nance with Leo, Gabriella Beranek, Leo’s wife, shared these observations recently: “Of course we love to hear great performances in fine
They recognize that achieving these hopes depends on the training and education of future generations of ac- ousticians. So they have chosen to support these goals through a significant donation to the Acoustical Soci- ety Foundation Fund (ASFF). The Leo and Gabriella Beranek Scholarship in Architectural Acoustics and Noise Control will be initiated by the first $30,000 sti- pend in 2016.
Your donation to the ASFF can be in tune with the Be- raneks to provide similar support for the many educa- tional opportunities funded through ASA.

concert halls, but many other aspects of our acoustics environment deserve study and attention.”
She and Leo together are referring to noise control in public spaces, reducing outdoor noise pollution, build- ing better harmony in multifamily dwellings, under- standing human perception to sound in spaces, and much more—all related to the fields of architectural acoustics and noise control.
Mission of the Acoustical Society Foundation Board:
To support the mission of the ASA by developing financial resources for strategic initiatives and special purposes.
