Why I Give: I give in memory of my husband, David Hoch, a 35-year UT faculty member and honors director for 13 years. David wanted honors students to enrich their learning with research, travel and service learning projects. Awards from the Hoch Fund give more students opportunities to keep David’s dream alive.
