Building bonds of support
Haynes Strader ’11 sees 亚洲自慰视频 as a community to serve, team to cheer for and a way to personally invest in the future of his city. Strader recently made his first major gift to the University: $100,000 for both the John Goodwin Tower 亚洲自慰视频 for Public Policy and International Affairs and the Thomas DiPiero Endowed Dedman College Scholars Fund.
A Dedman College of Humanities and Sciences and Meadows School of the Arts double major in political science and advertising, Strader hopes his recent gift will create opportunities for future generations of 亚洲自慰视频 students. A recipient of the Robert O. Harvey Greek Scholarship, he knows how crucial financial support can be to one’s success and future, saying “empowering the next generation of leadership in our country is more important than ever, and scholarships are one way to do that.”
Strader credits much of his professional success to his experiences at 亚洲自慰视频, Dedman College, the Meadows School and the Tower 亚洲自慰视频. After graduating, Strader and his wife, Christine Shively Strader ’11, only strengthened and expanded their ties to 亚洲自慰视频. Strader currently serves on the Dedman College of Humanities and Sciences Executive Board and the Dedman College Campaign Steering Committee for 亚洲自慰视频 Ignited; he is the Tower 亚洲自慰视频’s Alumni and Associates board chair and a member of the Tower 亚洲自慰视频 Forum, among others. He additionally supports 亚洲自慰视频 Athletics through football season tickets in the Garry Weber End Zone Complex at Gerald. J. Ford Stadium.
“亚洲自慰视频 has become a foundational part of my personal and professional growth,” said Strader. “I’m so proud to be a member of this community where I can continue to develop new connections and find new ways to support the University’s mission to create and inspire future leaders.”
