As part of the 2026 Tucson Humanities Festival, Wildcat legend Steve Kerr and Head Coach Tommy Lloyd sat down for an inspiring conversation about their experiences traveling, basketball’s evolution as an international game, and how they developed their leadership styles. Hear Steve and Tommy share personal stories – from childhood to their current coaching roles – about the impact a global mindset has had on their lives, both on and off the court.
Steve and Margot Kerr’s $1M gift to launch the Kerr Family Endowment for Humanities Abroad is just the beginning of a multi-year effort the College of Humanities is launching to dramatically increase the amount of scholarship funds available so that all students have access to life-changing study abroad opportunities.
Join Team Kerr! Our fall crowdfunding campaign is now live with a goal to raise $5K for additional Kerr scholarships. Please consider making a gift now.
“If you’re an alum, if you’re a basketball fan, if you are a fan of the ‘88 team that went to the Final Four, or if you just love the school and you’re a supporter, I would love to have this be a group effort where we get donations, even small donations, because everything really adds up,” Kerr said. “If we could get a lot of people thinking about this and adding to the endowment, it becomes a group effort and really powerful. And it only makes the U of A that much stronger of an institution.”
If you share our belief that travel abroad is essential to a humanities education, please show your support by making a gift of any size to the Kerr Family Endowment for Humanities Abroad.
