About Gordon and Betty Browning
Gordon and Betty Browning lived in California most of their lives, but moved to Utah to retire. After moving to Utah, they became interested in the Health Sciences at the U. Gordon and Betty left their estate to the U for scholarships. The Browning Auditorium (Wintrobe Building) and The Browning Plaza (between Wintrobe and building 521) were named after them for their contributions. They were kind and generous folks.

The Browning Scholarship is awarded to students who have excelled academically and are in need of financial assistance*.
