A $20 million donation to Southern Methodist University aims to support research, provide financial assistance to doctoral students and pay for undergraduate scholarships, as well as endow the school’s dean position. The new endowed dean will be Nader Jalili, who currently leads mechanical engineering at the University of Alabama.

The huge gift, announced Friday, comes from Dallas philanthropists Mary and Richard Templeton. He is a SMU trustee and CEO of Texas Instruments.
