A Gift for the Greatest Needs
“My wife and I have simply gained a level of trust with the people administering this gift. We want to give them the flexibility to take care of what’s most important at the time.”

The Somerhalders, featured in the UA’s fall 2017 alumni magazine, contributed $1 million to the Dean’s Endowed Fund for Excellence in Engineering.
