Alumni Perspective
In the Summer of 1885, 34 graduates of the University of Texas at Austin founded its alumni association, known today as Texas Exes. Since then, the association’s membership has grown to more than 106,000 and has continued to facilitate connection, service, and philanthropy for longhorns on the Forty Acres and beyond. Through efforts such as the Alcalde Magazine, Texas Ten, and student scholarships, Texas Exes champion the myriad support initiatives of Longhorns helping Longhorns. Texas Exes’ contributions to current Longhorns, in many ways, help to create opportunities that inspire, exemplify, and further the idea that what starts here changes the world.
