Why Giving Matters

Quarterly Donor Spotlight

Jack Houvouras

Marshall Alumnus, Jack Houvouras recently established the John H. Houvouras Scholarship to help full-time undergraduate students at Marshall University’s W. Page Pitt School of Journalism and Mass Communications. Additionally, through a planned gift, Jack’s scholarship will continue to help Marshall students for generations to come.

“The people I studied with at Marshall were honorable, hard-working individuals who constantly searched for the truth. I believe that a career in journalism is a very noble calling. Marshall has a proud tradition of producing some of the best journalists in the nation. If I can play a role in continuing that tradition, then I want to do my part. Nothing is more important to a true democracy than the First Amendment.
