Texas Tech University System Chancellor Kent Hance announced a generous gift of $10 million from the Hunt Family Foundation to the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC). The donation will be used to develop an autonomous, fully accredited nursing school at the TTUHSC campus in El Paso. The school will be named the Gayle Greve Hunt School of Nursing, after the wife of Woody L. Hunt, chairman of the Hunt Family Foundation and CEO of the Hunt Companies.
It is anticipated that the Gayle Greve Hunt School of Nursing will have an enrollment of 500 students by 2015. In the future, the Texas Tech University System strives to establish a full-fledged health sciences center in El Paso, which would include a graduate school, a dental school, and other capacities.
