The gift will provide:

“We are grateful for this extraordinary act of philanthropy, which will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on our university and its community,” said Dr. Morris. “This contribution is a testament to our collective efforts and the enduring trust inspired by the Tuskegee legacy.”
