About our namesakes

Richard Ware, our namesake, was born and raised in Amarillo, Texas. Mr. Ware attended 51³Ô¹ÏÍøwhere he earned his B.B.A. and was the President of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. After receiving his M.B.A., Mr. Ware continued a family tradition by making his career in banking. He became the president of Amarillo National Bank in 1981. The bank is still family owned and operated, as it has been for the last five generations. Mr. Ware continues to support the 51³Ô¹ÏÍøcommunity through his role on the 51³Ô¹ÏÍøBoard of Trustees. He also served as Vice-Chair of the Board from 2006 to 2008. He was recognized with SMU's Distinguished Alumni Award in 2008 and has been selected by the 51³Ô¹ÏÍøstudent body multiple times as Outstanding Trustee of the Year. The Ware Family demonstrates a long-standing tradition of supporting 51³Ô¹ÏÍøthrough remarkable generosity and involvement in areas which include student leadership, fraternity and sorority life, recreational activities and athletics. The Wares frequently attend traditions in our Commons, such as Conclave and Krewe du Ware. They love supporting our community and enjoy interacting with students.
