Texas Southern University Receives Home Donation from Houston Family

HOUSTON, Jan. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Southern University (TSU) celebrates an extraordinary gift from Janet and Jeff Share, esteemed supporters whose dedication continues to elevate TSU's mission. The Shares have generously donated a condominium to the University. The condominium is located on Houston's west side roughly two miles away from the Galleria Mall.

The gift follows the family's March 2024 establishment of a first-of-its-kind $54,000 endowment for KTSU, TSU's on-campus radio station. The Shares also donated their entire jazz and blues collection to the station as jazz aficionados and longtime KTSU listeners. These acts of generosity underscore their commitment to fostering student success and creating lasting opportunities for growth at TSU.

"The Shares have once again demonstrated their belief in the transformative power of education. Their gift strengthens TSU's ability to provide the tools and spaces our students need to thrive," echoed Charlie W. Coleman III, Associate Vice President of Development.
