Texas Exes Houston Chapter

We need volunteers for our annual Student Send-Off! Join the Houston Chapter in welcoming incoming first-year students from the Houston area and their families as they begin their UT journey.

The Student Send-Off is our annual party celebrating incoming UT students from the Houston Area. The event will have a complimentary brunch, insightful speakers (Dr. Brent Iverson, UFCU, Texas Parents Association), professional photographer opportunities, and raffle items.

Not only is she passionate about mentoring early- and mid-career librarians, she's also a valued member of the Texas Exes Houston Chapter. Katie co-chairs the Scholarship Committee, awarding $187,000+ in scholarships to Houston-area UT students this year.

Texas Exes UT Night at the Astros is happening, and we want YOU there. While our co-branded hats sold out (go Longhorns!), the fun absolutely didn't.

Grab your tickets (https://buff.ly/tR2wLGz ), wear your burnt orange, and come cheer with our community. Game day is better with Longhorns in the stands.

On Saturday, our volunteers assembled 4,000 meals at Kids Meals' new location. 🙌

Kids Meals fights childhood hunger in Houston by providing nutritious meals to kids in need. This weekend, our Texas Exes community showed up to support their mission, and as always, it was something special.

But we're not done yet. Our juice box drive is coming, and we'd love to have you join us at our Happy Hour on May 28th. RSVP here: https://buff.ly/vfYGv2A
