Leaders in Philanthropy

Bill Ryall (Arch ’77) recalled the summer he spent in the Veneto region with fellow graduate students from the School of Architecture.

In the nearly five decades since they graduated from UVA, Blake and Paulette Morant have forged a lasting and deep connection with the University.

Kate Theisen’s path to a distinguished career at the FBI Laboratory started with undergraduate research at UVA. Her bequest will provide that opportunity to future students.

During a nearly 50-year career as a trial lawyer in South Florida, Chris Searcy (Col ’69) has always fought for the underdog. His motivations behind giving to the University are compellingly straightforward.

Driven by their passion for UVA, Rotunda Society members Dr. Tamara Charity-Brown and Carlos M. Brown are supporting the University in meaningful ways.

Rotunda Society members Kathy Thornton-Bias (Col ’88) and Michael Cox may have embraced the Midwest, but that hasn’t diminished their passion for supporting the University.
