Contributions add up for Jerry S. Rawls Fund Undergraduate Teaching Initiatives
Special to the Avalanche-Journal
Twenty years ago, Jerry S. Rawls made a transformative gift to the College of Business Administration that has helped make the college, now carrying his name, become one of the best academic entities in the U.S.
Now, his latest philanthropic gift to Texas Tech University hopes to do the same for two colleges in terms of rewarding excellence in teaching in undergraduate programs and enhancing the visibility of faculty who make classroom learning their focus.
Thanks to a $562,500 gift split between the Jerry S. Rawls College of Business and the Edward E. Whitacre Jr, College of Engineering, both colleges have initiated programs that will recognize and bolster faculty and instructors who have the greatest impact on student learning outcomes.
