This scholarship will prepare Communication students to be competitive in the national and global marketplace. Vonn Butler earned bachelor and master’s degrees from Texas Southern after a 16-year marketing and promotions career in the music and entertainment business. Butler’s experience on the national scene contributed to his expertise in information technology. He returned to TSU to serve as an adjunct professor and dedicated his efforts to providing students with updated equipment and the opportunity to attend professional conferences. The Butler Scholarship is sponsored by Butler’s parents – Lionel and Cathlene – and brothers – Maurice and Stanley. John Tucker and Ramon Manning are co-sponsors of the Endowment. The Scholarship commemorates Butler’s tireless pursuit of preparing, encouraging and motivating TSU students in the School of Communication.
