SAN ANGELO, TX — Angelo State University has received a generous monetary gift from alumnus Mark Low to establish the Low Family Chair in Accounting in ASU’s Norris-Vincent College of Business.

The Texas Tech University System Board of Regents approved the gift at its quarterly meeting last week.

Low, a 1978 graduate, is the CEO of Juno Energy III, LLC, an oil and gas producer based in Plano. His generous gift will provide valuable, essential financial support for the growing degree programs within the Department of Accounting, Economics and Finance.

“Our gratitude for alumnus Mark Low’s generosity can’t be expressed,” ASU President Brian May said. “The Low Family Chair in Accounting will strengthen Angelo State’s accounting program by supporting an additional faculty position in this area. Future students will benefit from this legacy.”
