Jack Love and Theresa Lee

Dean Theresa Lee and her husband Jack Love have established the Theresa Lee and Jack Love Endowment to support the College of Arts and Sciences. Specifically, the aim is to provide unrestricted support for the dean’s office for numerous purposes, including student and faculty support, visiting lecturers, technology purchases, and other academic priorities.

In celebration of Dean Lee’s leadership, friendship, and positive impact on the College of Arts and Sciences, we invite alumni and friends of the college to donate to the endowment.
