Johnson, UT president emeritus; Clarence “Ed” Roeske, retired UT professor; and C. Glennon Rowell, UT professor.

For a contribution of $25,000 or more, a separate scholarship endowment fund bearing the honoree’s or donor’s name may be established. Donors’ names also will appear in the companion book or video unless they specify anonymity.
