Dear Friends,

The Cowan Center Circle sustains the center annually by helping bring big names and extraordinary talent to Tyler. Your membership support is crucial to our success.

We have launched a new fund source to build our future, The Cowan Center Performance Excellence Endowment. The Circle membership program provided the seed money for this endowment to secure a bright future. We ask you to consider giving a separate and additional gift to help us build our tomorrow. All sizes of gifts are welcome and pledges may be made for long-term commitments.

Thank you for helping us provide this important center that invites you in for a wonderful evening to share with your friends and family.

SUSAN THOMAE-MORPHEW
Cowan Center Director


As a charter member of the Cowan Center Advisory Board, I have watched the Center grow in quality as well as quantity. With five wonderful series offering programs to Tyler and East Texas, the Cowan Center is a major part of the University’s mission to educate, add to the quality of life and foster economic development. Since 1999, our Cowan Center Circle membership has grown from 25 to 336 and truly supports excellence. Your patronage is essential and much appreciated!
