Issue 15 | Summer 2021: Generous Donors Support A&H Fundraising

Marilyn and Jerry Comer

The School of Arts of Humanities is pleased to announce that it raised $529,590 with 143 gifts across nearly all Centers and a number of programs and activities. The single largest gift came from Marilyn and Jerry Comer MS’77. The couple contributed $500,000 that will create a new endowment supporting the Jerry and Marilyn Comer Photography Collection, an archive of nearly 2,000 photos, books and periodicals documenting American life from the mid- to late-20th century. The Comers had earlier donated the collection to UT Dallas, and their new gift will provide support for it in perpetuity. A&H friends can find out more about the New Dimensions campaign and learn how to participate.
