Special Thank You
Paul Engler
A pioneer of the Texas cattle-feeding industry, Engler has received numerous honors and recognition throughout his career, which include induction into the Meat Industry Hall of Fame and the Cattle Feeders Hall of Fame. In 2017, Engler and the Paul F. and Virginia J. Engler Foundation agreed to donate $1 million a year for at least 80 years to both the University’s Paul Engler College of Agriculture and Natural Sciences and the Paul and Virginia Engler College of Business. This is currently the largest gift in WT history.
Lanna and Bob Hatton
The Bob and Lanna Hatton Education Endowment Fund will be used for the improvement of the quality of educators and educational programs that impact as many students as possible. It will provide opportunities for pre-service teachers, in-service teachers and other educators to acquire knowledge and gain access to programs that will result in higher educational attainment for students.
