Body

Former marketing professor Hale Tongren and his wife, Sally, have long been supporters of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµâ€™s School of Business. In 1986 they established the Tongren Marketing Endowed Scholarship, which is awarded annually to a top marketing major. After Tongren passed away in 2009, followed by his wife in 2014, they bequeathed $500,000 to their scholarship—a gift that will cement their legacy of giving to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ students.
