Unrestricted Gift Supports Strategic Plans for the
Engineering School's Future

Steve Jarvis (CE ’65) considers himself fortunate to have attended U.Va. on a basketball scholarship during the 1960s. The quality of his education, which served as the foundation for his success in the construction industry, inspired him to give back to the School in significant ways. Earlier this year he made an unrestricted $50,000 gift to the School and for the last three years has served as a member of the SEAS Trustees. He is also a generous supporter of the U.Va. Athletic Foundation.

Jarvis made his gift to help Dean James H. Aylor, Engineering School faculty and Trustees implement a strategic plan for the future of the School.

“I saw the importance of making an unrestricted gift that the dean could use at his discretion for the School’s highest priorities,” Jarvis says.

In addition to recognizing the importance of financial support by U.Va. Engineering School alumni and friends, Jarvis considers the SEAS Trustees an invaluable resource for School administration and faculty. His service as a Trustee allows him to lend his executive experience and expertise to helping the School plan for its future.

“I consider it a privilege and honor to be a member of the SEAS Trustees,” Jarvis says. “When I was asked to join, the obvious answer was yes.”
