A lAsting Influence
Randy Gideon ('75) credits his time at UTA as helping him become the person and the professional he is today. "Participating in collegiate sports and student organizations," Gideon says, "showed me it's possible to have a positive impact on our community as a student and as a future business leader." Gideon and his wife, Beth, have made a deferred gift to the University as a way of demonstrating what UTA means to them. THE GIDEONS' STORY
