It marked the beginning of his involvement with the UT campaign. More scholarships followed. I knew that Pat would have approved of the idea. What I didn't expect were all the letters from students, saying how much of a difference it made to be granted a scholarship.

As a successful busi nessman, I feel I have a responsibility to help the next generation do the same thing I did. You can't pull the ladder up behind you once you've reached your goals. Recipients of the scholarships have flung their futures far and wide. Sullivan's own extensive travels as campaign chairman have allowed him to meet scholarship students and many UT grads, now making successful lives for themselves. The future is on Sullivan's mind when he talks about the importance of the UT 40 Campaign.
