Kemah Couple Gives Major Gift to Texas A&M

Caters Establish A Mays Faculty Fellowship

Pamela M. and Barent W. Cater '77, of Kemah, have committed $300,000 to endow a faculty fellowship at Mays Business School at Texas A&M. This gift, which creates the Pamela M. and Barent W. Cater '77 Faculty Fellowship, will support the teaching, research, service and professional development activities of a Mays Business School faculty member. "The Caters' outstanding gift will help us attract and retain the rising stars of business faculty," Dean Jerry Strawser said. "Pam and I feel fortunate to be able to support this great university which has meant so much to our family," Barent Cater said. 

In addition to his undergraduate degree in economics from Texas A&M, Barry has an MBA from Mays Business School and is a retired managing partner of Accenture.  Pam is a graduate of Wheaton College in Illinois, and their son Colin currently attends the University of Texas. The Caters' gift counts in the One Spirit One Vision Campaign.
