I’ve had the opportunity to reconnect with old friends and make new ones who share my passion for UT, all while being part of the strategic effort to keep top academic talent in the state of Texas. Additionally, members get the chance to hear from individuals like Athletic Director Chris Del Conte and Coach Eddie Reese (my favorite so far) in small settings.
