Riseman, who was known by his middle name, “Alex,” in college, is a member of the UT class of 1978. He has been involved heavily with UT’s Lowth Entrepreneurship Center as an advisory board member, student mentor and major donor, and is a current member of the UT Board of Trustees. He said his gift was motivated by both the urge to leave a legacy at UT and his interest in healthy lifestyles. Plus, as co-chair of the Board of Trustees’ Development Committee, he is eager to set a tone for campus philanthropy and hopes to encourage other alumni to support the University.
In alignment with UT’s commitment to environmental stewardship, the new building will be designed and constructed to be a candidate for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. If successful, it will be UT’s seventh LEED-certified building.
