Weitzman Executive Chairman Herb Weitzman and his wife, Donna Weitzman, donated $3M to the UT Dallas Naveen Jindal School of Management. The gift will establish the Herbert D. Weitzman Institute for Real Estate and will provide scholarships to undergraduate students pursuing a concentration in real estate. “Herb told me he wants this to be a legacy gift,” said Randall Guttery, the director of the school’s real estate program. “He wants to help the next generation and generations to come. His and Donna’s generosity will help ensure that will happen in perpetuity.” The gift will also help fund real estate student trips to case competitions and conferences and open doors for student internship opportunities. The Weitzmans announced this partnership Tuesday during the school’s annual Scholarship Breakfast. “A program that trains our future leaders offers the potential of reshaping the North Texas community in a positive way for decades to come,” Weitzman said. “I’m honored to be able to contribute to that promise.”
