Jerome "Bruzzy" Westheimer ('65), a 2016 UNT Athletics Hall of Fame inductee, has gifted $1.9 million to support Mean Green golf, music, visual arts and educational initiatives.
His gifts will fund a new golf practice facility being built at the Meridoe Country Club in Carrollton to advance UNT's nationally recognized golf programs. They also will support The Valerie Dean Westheimer ('70) Memorial Fellowship for Visual Arts and Design in memory of his sister; commission a sculpture from the studio of the late Jesús Moroles ('78) for the Union sculpture garden; and fund a UNT Kuehne Speaker Series Lifetime Membership.
His nephew, Christian O'Donnell ('86), committed $250,000 to support The Valerie Dean Westheimer Graduate Fellowship in Music and The Valerie Dean Westheimer Scholarship in Music.
