Philanthropy matters.... IT TRANSFORMS LIVES. IT UNLEASHES KNOWLEDGE AND UNLOCKS NEW DISCOVERIES. IT CREATES A FUTURE THAT IS BRIGHTER, BETTER AND STRONGER FOR THE WORLD.
To say that 2018 was impressive in terms of philanthropy is an understatement. The University experienced a record outpouring of giving, impacting student success initiatives, research and faculty support, facilities, athletics and a healthy Houston. With nearly 180,000 donors to date, our “Here, We Go� Campaign met with great success, reaching the $1 billion dollar mark eighteen months ahead of schedule. Many of these gifts have been transformational, helping us fuel research and innovation at every turn as we anticipate moving well beyond our billion dollar goal in 2019-2020. As you will read, our faithful giving community has allowed us to turn bold initiatives into reality. The gifts highlighted in this philanthropy report inspire future generations of students, foster faculty and staff excellence and create new opportunities for all. Without your passion and commitment, we would not be the University we are today. I hope you enjoy our tribute to those who have helped the University achieve beyond what we thought was possible. Thank you.

SCHOLARSHIP AND STUDENT SUCCESS Scholarships are the gateway to a student’s future. They allow driven scholars to study without undue hardship. Hilton Alumnus Creates Center for Student Success. Believing that opportunity breeds potential, University of Houston System (UHS) Regent Doug Brooks (’75) and his wife Holly graciously donated $1 million to create the Hilton College Center for Student Success. From questions regarding the application process to graduation day logistics, every student need is addressed accordingly. Brooks refers to the new establishment as a “visual marketing spot”— where students, alumni, faculty, staff and hotel guests can network and foster creativity. “It has always been my hope, as an alumnus of the Hilton College, to encourage and support the hospitality leaders of the future,” said Brooks.
As a result of the Warren’s kindness, students will be able to pursue their dreams without limitations. “Our scholarship may help lessen the burden for another promising student,” said Carolyn and Jerry Warren. The Crumrines Share Their Blessings With Bauer Students. Daniel (M.S. ’86) and Carol (M.Ed. ’89) Crumrine give of both their time and treasure to the University of Houston. Through the Daniel and Carol Crumrine Scholarship in the C.T. Bauer College of Business, students will receive a nice boost. “We do not want to see students miss the opportunities that await them due to financial circumstances,” said Crumrine.
Carolyn and Jerry Warren Lessen the Burden for Students in NSM. Carolyn and Alton (Jerry) Warren (M.S. ’65) were able to see firsthand how their generous scholarship gift has impacted the lives of College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (NSM) students. “The students were well-versed in their fields of study,” said Warren.

FACULTY AND RESEARCH SUPPORT Propelled by President Renu Khator’s bold initiative, Research Preeminence: 50 in 5, faculty will substantially expand the research enterprise at the University. This includes publications, citations, awards, casebooks, cited performances and research expenditures. Humana and College of Medicine Partner for Health. The University of Houston and Humana Inc., one of the nation’s leading health and well-being companies, have formed a longterm partnership. Together, they are creating the Humana Integrated Health System Sciences Institute at the University of Houston, aligning the UH College of Medicine with the existing colleges of Nursing, Pharmacy, Graduate College of Social Work and Optometry. A $15 million gift over 10 years from Humana will fund endowed chairs for each of the five colleges and help UH fund the College of Medicine. Eddie Green/Chad Collins Family Band Program Endowment Honors a Special Mentor. The impact of a relationship can transform lives, and thanks to a devoted father, a very special bond has been honored. After attending the University of Houston, Chad Collins (’96), an accomplished bass clarinet player, wanted to pay tribute to his former band director at UH, Eddie Green.
Grateful for the mentorship that his son received from Eddie Green, Chad’s father, Tommy Collins, established the Eddie Green/Chad Collins Family Band Program Endowment with a generous initial contribution that was matched by the UH Foundation at 50 percent. With additional matching funds leveraged, the gift will approach half a million dollars. Bill Kendall and His Legacy at Hines College. The Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture and Design has created its first-ever endowed professorship thanks to a $250,000 gift donated by Houston architecture firm, Kendall/Heaton Associates, Inc. The Bill Kendall Memorial Endowed Professorship is a fitting legacy to the architecture firm’s owner, William (Bill) Doyle Kendall (’66, ’67). The architect holding this endowed position will bolster the study of building materials and technology, spearhead new research and increase the College’s engagement with the architecture and engineering professional communities in Houston and beyond.
This gift matters because it provides support for one of UH’s most renowned programs. ANTONIO D. TILLIS Dean, College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences University of Houston
Anonymous Gift Elevates Creative Writing and CLASS to New Heights. The UH Creative Writing Program has been a crown jewel within the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS) for four decades. The prestigious program was recently enhanced with an anonymous $4 million gift—the single largest gift that CLASS has ever received. The gift comes at a period of unprecedented growth, expansion and opportunity for the College. The strategic investment includes funding for a Graduate Student Diversity Endowment, a CLASS Faculty Research Initiatives Endowment, a Creative Writing Program Graduate Student Community Partnership Endowment and two Endowed College Professorships in Creative Writing.

FACILITIES One of the most tangible signs of a university’s ascendance is the addition of new and renovated facilities that facilitate students, faculty and staff in their pursuit of academic, athletic and creative excellence. Building the Future of Legal Education in Houston. “A building is more than bricks and mortar. It is the corporeal manifestation of who we are and who we aspire to be.” This statement by dean of the UH Law Center (UHLC), Leonard M. Baynes, truly epitomizes the grit behind the Houston Law Building’s “More Than Bricks” Campaign. The new Law Center building will represent the true scholarship and educational experiences reflective of 21st century law education. Demonstrating the investment of the University and the legal community, the new building will attract high-caliber students and faculty to a technology-focused building. Perhaps most importantly, this capital improvement could propel the UHLC into the top 30 of law schools nationwide. Agrawals Engineer New Era for College. With student enrollment projected to double by 2025, the Cullen College of Engineering received a welcome gift of support from Regent Durga D. and Sushila Agrawal to fund ongoing faculty and student research and building operations. In recognition, the engineering building at
UH will be renamed the Durga D. and Sushila Agrawal Engineering Research Building. Durga D. Agrawal (M.S. ’69, Ph.D. ’74), founder of Piping Technology & Products Inc., is optimistic about the gift’s long-term impact. “As alumni, we must keep the torch of knowledge, excellence and innovation growing and glowing.” The Agrawals’ generous support of the Cullen College of Engineering was instrumental in helping secure a $10 million gift from HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) to benefit the University’s Data Science Institute. In recognition of the newly formed partnership between UH and HPE, the UH Data Science Institute will be renamed the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Data Science Institute, which will be housed in the Durga D. and Sushila Agrawal Engineering Research Building. The gift from HPE will allow students to broaden their academic experiences, engaging in work ranging from health care diagnostics and imaging to improving the safety of offshore drilling.

A HEALTHY HOUSTON Thanks to your passionate support, the University continues its role as a gateway to higher education and a workforce powerhouse—constantly striving to improve the quality of life for Houston’s hard-working citizens. Powerful Gift Puts Momentum Behind the Mission. It is one thing to talk about why Texas suffers from a shortage of primary care physicians and poor health care for the underserved, but it takes visionary alumni like Dale (’70) and Nancy Lowe to actually do something about it. Thanks to the Lowes’ $2.5 million gift, the UH College of Medicine is poised to make a dramatic difference in Texas health care by training tomorrow’s primary care physicians and improving patient outcomes at lower costs. Lead donations, such as the Lowes, are a powerful statement of public support, ensuring that College of Medicine graduates can focus on serving inner city and rural communities where lack of health care takes the heaviest toll. UH Continues Tradition as Public Art Pioneer. Blessed with one of the most storied and significant Public Art collections in the country, the University contributes to a healthy Houston through the support of arts and cultural programming. Backed by a $1.5 million grant from The Brown Foundation, President Renu Khator
is excited to put the “public” back into Public Art. The grant will fund temporary installations ranging from the very short term, such as a weekend pop-up performance, to the longer term, such as a year-long interactive video installation. These programs will create a unique sense of place that draws people together. BB&T Charitable Foundation to Reinforce Ethics Education Within Hobby Center. A $1 million gift from the BB&T Charitable Foundation to the Hobby School of Public Affairs will help create new programs, a speaker series and a summer training institute in social science research methods for graduate and undergraduate students interested in varying public policy perspectives. Taught by Executive Director of the Hobby School, Jim Granato, the course will cover different perspectives on the free market. “Many of the pressing moral and political issues for our students right now are economic,” said Granato. “Students should have the critical tools to evaluate the policy issues at stake and the principles underlying and dividing them.”
New Technology for the Nation’s Oldest Public Television Station. One generous UH donor is a long-time supporter of the programming on KUHT, Houston Public Media’s (HPM) flagship and the country’s first public television station. Ann Harder embodies the selfless support that keeps nonprofits like HPM operating at the highest level in spite of the need to replace or upgrade essential equipment. “I give because I can,” said Harder. Harder’s recent gift was used to underwrite a portion of the replacement of a multi-million dollar transmission tower. The new tower upgrade allows KUHT to broadcast programming to viewers across southeast Texas and beyond. A Gift of Transformative Outcome. Central to the University’s mission of student success is our commitment to the economic, social and cultural issues affecting our neighbors. Through the Third Ward Initiative, the University partners with Houston’s Third Ward community to transform its schools, businesses and health care resources. A recent anonymous gift of $1.5 million to these efforts will birth a new facility that will serve as a hub for improvement initiatives.
The most important role of the public art committee is to ensure collection artworks are woven into the fabric of the physical spaces of the UHS, and they represent each university’s characteristics and aspirations.

ATHLETICS It has been said that a nationally relevant athletics program engages and energizes a school’s student body and alumni like no other. UH student athletes make invaluable contributions, garnering widespread admiration and developing leadership skills, while inspiring our Cougar community and earning respect and recognition for the “City’s University.” Generous Donors Keep UH Sports Venues Among The Nation’s Finest. When you look at University of Houston’s athletic facilities, the desire to provide the best is clear. The Fertitta Center and adjacent Hofheinz Plaza bring UH’s basketball facilities into the 21st century in spectacular fashion. Launched with UHS Board of Regents Chairman Tilman Fertitta’s $20 million gift, the Fertitta Center is the next step to ensuring UH compares favorably with the nation’s best. “Upgrading our athletics facilities shows we are serious about competing at the highest levels of collegiate sports for many years to come. I’m proud of where the University of Houston is today, and I’m proud to make this investment in my university’s future,” said Fertitta.
From TDECU Stadium to baseball’s home at Darryl & Lori Schroeder Park to the Dave Williams Golf Academy, and to a new Football Indoor Practice Facility, the University has shown an unwavering commitment to creating a winning environment for its student athletes, coaches and fans. Most recently, the field at Darryl & Lori Schroeder Park was named the Don Sanders Field. Former UHS Board of Regents member Don Sanders is a long-time friend and supporter of the Houston Baseball program. In 2015, Sanders and Joe Gutierrez (’89, M.B.A. ’14) gave lead donations for UH baseball’s state-of-the-art video board, which bears both their names.

EZEKIEL W. CULLEN SOCIETY The University of Houston’s legacy began more than 175 years ago when the pioneers of the Republic of Texas acted on their conscience and began championing publicly funded education. On that momentous day in 1839, the Father of Texas Education, Ezekiel W. Cullen, inspired by the breadth of Texas’ potential and the resolve of its citizens to attain excellence, proposed a system of education stewarded financially by communities and public engagement. Mr. Cullen believed that education exalts the mind, refines passions, promotes virtue and constitutes national strength and glory. Even today, the descendants of Ezekiel W. Cullen are among our biggest champions and ambassadors. The Ezekiel W. Cullen Society recognizes and celebrates the University of Houston’s most generous individual donors, those whose lifetime giving reaches a minimum of $250,000. They are the alumni, parents and friends who help propel the University’s mission through generous financial support. Their contributions guide and inspire as the University rises to meet the challenges of tomorrow. PHILANTHROPY MATTERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON.

With this strong and impactful year of giving, I think we are in store for a future ripe with both challenges and opportunities. Through your investment, the University will continue to grow and transform the lives of everyone it touches. I hope you will visit us soon to see firsthand the impact you are making in the life of this remarkable institution. The best is yet to come.
