Bill Armstrong ’82 and Liz Martin Armstrong ’82 of Denver were among the donors who contributed to the new and renovated student casitas at SMU-in-Taos. The first phase of planned enhancements was made possible by a $4 million gift from former Texas Governor William P. Clements Jr. ’39 and his wife, Rita. In addition to the Armstrongs, other donors who have given more than $1 million to support the student housing include Irene Athos and the late William J. Athos, Roy and Janis Coffee, Maurine Dickey ’67, Richard T. ’61 and Jenny Mullen, Caren H. Prothro, Steve ’70 and Marcy Sands, Jo Ann Geurin Thetford ’69, ’70, Richard Ware ’68 and William J. Ware ’01. As a result of the improvements, SMU was able to offer fall classes for the first time at Fort Burgwin.
