Nominations for the Partner in Philanthropy Faculty Award
Nominate a Faculty Member for a Partner in Philanthropy Award!
In October 2014, the Texas A&M Foundation Board of Trustees established an award to recognize faculty members who have provided dedicated and lasting participation and commitment as well as creative leadership to philanthropy benefiting Texas A&M.
Tyson Voelkel '96 congratulates Dr. John Junkins as the first recipient of the Partner in Philanthropy award.
This award is called the Texas A&M Foundation “Partner in Philanthropy” Faculty Award that commends faculty members for their years of commitment to fundraising with a monetary award of $10,000. The Texas A&M Foundation Board of Trustees select the Partner in Philanthropy Faculty Award recipient each year based on nominations from the Texas A&M Foundation development staff.
