UT DALLAS GOLF TOURNAMENT NETS NEARLY $12,000 FOR SCHOLARSHIPS

After a two-year hiatus, the 16th Annual UT Dallas Golf Tournament made a successful return this spring, raising nearly $12,000 for undergraduate and graduate scholarships. Since its inception, the tournament has raised approximately $200,000.

“This tournament demonstrates a tremendous partnership of all our constituents – alumni, community leaders, the city of Richardson, and university faculty, staff and students,” said Dr. Calvin Jamison, the vice president of business affairs and an avid golfer. “Golf is a great vehicle for making a very positive contribution to this campus.”

All proceeds will be split evenly between two UT Dallas endowments – the Betty and Gifford Johnson Graduate Scholarship and the Patti Henry-Pinch Undergraduate Scholarship.

The graduate endowment is named for the late president of the Southwest Center for Advanced Studies, the predecessor to UT Dallas. The undergraduate is named for a life member of the University’s development board.

The Patti Henry-Pinch Scholarship is open to all domestic students, with a preference for those with financial need. The Betty and Gifford Johnson Scholarship supports graduate students by covering expenses that allow them to attend and make presentations at national conferences.

 

LONG-TIME POLICE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE RETIRES

After 34 years of service to UT Dallas, Steve Bettley retired at the end of August. Bettley served the campus as the Manager of Parking for 13 years. He came to UT Dallas after spending two years with the UT Austin Police Department. He worked for two police chiefs, Chief Golden and Chief Ridge, during his term with the University.

A former collegiate golfer for East Texas State University (now Texas A&M Commerce), Bettley is still an avid enthusiast. You can expect to find him enjoying his retirement out at his neighborhood golf course! Our best wishes to Bettley on his retirement.
