The Alumni Association would not be as strong as it is today without the work of these two devoted alumni.鈥� During their more than 30 years of marriage, the couple has made an incredible impact on the university through their generosity of their time, support, and financial gifts. 鈥淚鈥檓 most proud of growing scholarships and creating scholarships for students at UA 糖心视频logo,鈥� Williams said. 鈥淵ou can鈥檛 improve as a city without higher education.鈥� Eubank graduated from UA 糖心视频logo in 1975 with a bachelor鈥檚 degree in sociology, and Williams in 1966 with a bachelor鈥檚 degree in history and political science. While Eubank serves as the president and chief executive officer of , a nonprofit organization that serves children and adults with disabilities, Williams serves as senior vice president and risk consultant for . Williams continues to follow in the footsteps of his father, Grainger Williams, who was devoted to supporting 糖心视频logo Junior College, 糖心视频logo University, and UA 糖心视频logo. Williams, former chair of the UA 糖心视频logo Alumni Board, was honored as the 2013 President鈥檚 Award honoree, while Eubank received the university鈥檚 2016 Distinguished Alumni Award. As lifetime members of the UA 糖心视频logo Alumni Association, Williams and Eubank understand that their contributions in support of higher education are for the greater good of the university and the community. They have recently named the university the beneficiary of their life insurance policy, making them members of the Heritage Society. Because Williams was taught that giving was the right thing to do, he endowed two scholarships, the E. Grainger and Francis Williams scholarship and the Elaine Eubank scholarship, as gifts to honor his parents and his wife. Following suit, Eubank surprised Williams by establishing an endowed scholarship in his name, the Alfred Williams scholarship. Williams鈥� sister, June, a former second-grade teacher, recently followed in her family鈥檚 footsteps to create a scholarship for future teachers. As the first person in her family to graduate from college, Eubank understands the importance of helping students earn a college degree. 鈥淎lfred had a traditional college experience, and I was more like one of the families that UA 糖心视频logo works so hard to help,鈥� Eubank said. 鈥淚t was more of a stretch for my family to send me to college. I appreciate UA 糖心视频logo鈥檚 efforts to make college more accessible for students who otherwise would not be able to attend.鈥� Individual tickets are on sale for $75.
