We are pleased to announce the transformational impact that philanthropists Todd and Dawn Aaron have sustained at the Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies and the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at Austin.

The Aarons met at UT, where Dawn was a member of Alpha Episilon Phi sorority and Todd of Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, where he is currently Advisor. Their three children—Morgan, Bennett, and Molly—have followed in their footsteps by attending UT. The Aarons are long-time friends and advocates of the College, and Todd Aaron also serves as a valuable member of the Schusterman Center’s advisory board.

The Aarons have generously gifted an additional $250,000 in immediate use to the Todd and Dawn Aaron Undergraduate Innovation Fund to support the needs of the Center, in particular student experiential learning opportunities such as internships and study abroad experiences.

In addition, they have committed up to $250,000 in 1:1 matching funds to inspire giving from others in support of faculty, students, and programmatic needs at the Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies.

We are immeasurably grateful for Todd and Dawn’s commitment to building excellence at the Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies and the value the Aarons place on philanthropy.
