BA ’96, Former Texas Cheer Captain 1992-95

To be a Longhorn is one of the greatest privileges in my life. To contribute to that same experience for the generations behind us is a wonderful way to give back. Through the work of everyone on the Forty Acres Council and the generosity of every member contributing to the Forty Acres Scholarship Program, Texas gains an annual cohort of the most well-rounded, intelligent, inspirational future-world-changers. When these students may have furthered their education at any number of elite schools, we get the honor of naming them Longhorns for life.
