In honor of the largest gift in university history, the medical school was renamed the John P. and Kathrine G. McGovern Medical School.[14][15] The endowment will also support the school's McGovern Center for Humanities and Ethics which was established from an earlier foundation gift.[16] In January 2017, the foundation gave $20 million to the University of Houston College of the Arts to create a permanent endowment that will benefit arts students and faculty, as well as community outreach.
