Class:
1965

Bruzzy Westheimer received his bachelor’s degree in administrative management from UNT in 1965. He serves on the President’s Leadership Board and the UNT Kuehne Speaker Series steering committee, is a member of the McConnell Society, and is a life member of UNT Alumni Association.

He also serves as president and CEO of the Jerome Westheimer Family Foundation. Those who regularly play golf develop a passion for the game, and Westheimer's love of the game began as a youngster when his uncle, Perry Maxwell, one of the most respected golf designers in the world, ignited a fire that continues today.

Westheimer has made multiple gifts to the North Texas men’s and women’s golf programs, headlined by helping fund a new practice facility at Maridoe Country Club, which provides Mean Green golfers one of the finest practice facilities in the country. He also funded customized vans for the teams, allowing them to travel in style. The balance of his gift will provide upgrades and support for UNT golf programs for years to come.
