Both the Manns' have connections to the university. While Randy Mann has roots in sports, Caroline Mann was also a graduate of UMHB. The family is pleased to have their name on something that will have a huge impact on students.
"Caroline and I are so surprised to learn that our friends and family have been working to establish this scholarship," Mann said. "We are humbled by their generosity and can't wait to see how this scholarship affects future UMHB students."
