Embrey Family Foundation $2.2 Million Gift

Postby Ponymon » Mon Nov 06, 2006 9:40 am

Robert Miller's article in DMN business section page 2D details gift to SMU. Dedman College gets $1 million to explore human rights topics, develop new student programs, bring human rights scholars to campus, and convene symposia and public programs. $1 million goes to the basketball program and soccer field renovation and $200 thousand will fund renovation and expansion of Westcott field.
