R. Steven “Steve” Hicks, telecommunications pioneer and vice chairman of the Board of Regents at The University of Texas System, has made a generous gift to advance The University of Texas at Austin’s School of Social Work. In recognition, the university will name it the Steve Hicks School of Social Work.

“By investing in our social work students, Steve Hicks is investing in a fabric that binds communities together. Social work students commit to dedicate their lives to service and enriching the lives of others. In return, UT commits to support them thanks to Steve Hicks’ generous philanthropy,” said Gregory L. Fenves, president of The University of Texas at Austin.
