Galveston Wharves Establishes Galveston College Endowment
The Galveston Wharves is investing in the future of the maritime industry by establishing an endowment at Galveston College to fund maritime-related degrees and trades.
Initial funding of $40,000 came from sponsorship proceeds from the Port of Galveston’s 2025 bicentennial celebration.
Rodger Rees, Galveston Wharves’ port director and CEO, said, “As one of the Gulf Coast’s leading deepwater ports, the Port of Galveston and its port partners depend on a strong pipeline of skilled professionals to sustain and grow our maritime economy.”
