Pollard's son, Houston City Councilman Edward Pollard says the family was honored to learn of the award."My mother would be proud. She dedicated her life to the students, the school and the arts and I think her legacy should be cherished and remembered to ensure that future generations continue to learn and understand what she brought to the university.”
Gibson, a Houston native with proud roots in the South Park neighborhood says he’s deeply honored to be chosen for the award by a school he says helped set him up for success. “I like to find things that scare me,” says Gibson. “Right now I’m scaring myself more on screen because I don’t have the luxury of the next night, I don’t have the audience to dance with. But mostly I just love what acting asks of me and that is to find out more about myself and to breathe life into characters that I feel need me.”fans out there, Gibson wasn’t going to try out for the role at first.
