Long, also a UT alumnus. She was the first Hispanic woman to earn a doctorate in health and physical education at The University of Texas at Austin.

Dr. Lozano Long died in April 2021. Read our tribute to this generous philanthropist.

In 2000, the Longs pledged an endowment gift of $10 million to support the Institute of Latin American Studies (ILAS). As one outcome of this gift, the institute is now known as the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies, or LLILAS.
