UH alumnus, economics professor, teacher and lifelong learner Dr. Ward Mardfin has pledged $22,500 over the last three years to help fund an Economics graduate student’s education.

“All along my academic journey, I have been helped and influenced by many UH faculty. I would not have had the life I lived if it had not been for Dr. Burnham Campbell and many others,” said Mardfin. “I decided to pay it forward and make contributions to help other students have the same opportunities that I have had. If the students my donations help to support have even half the success and happiness that I have had, they will be lucky indeed,” he said.

If you are interested in joining Dr. Mardfin in supporting CSS students, please contact Karla Zarate-Ramirez, Associate Vice President, Major Gifts, at Karla.Zarate-Ramirez@uhfoundation.org or (808) 956-2906.
