Maintaining the excellence of the school depends on alumni support. If you’re not in this report, consider this an invitation to be one of the first to get on next year’s list!

We aim to create a culture of gratitude and giving back, and the Class of 2019 gets it. Their student-led campaign to raise participation and dollars for the law school’s annual fund was a rousing success. The class enjoyed 55% participation—more than two-and-a-half times the law school average!
When Rodney Koenig ’69 and his wife Mary wanted to give back to U.T. to recognize all the university had done for them, and to ensure that future Longhorns would enjoy those same opportunities, they looked to their IRA and saw how to make an immediate—and lasting—impact.
Marvin Blum and Talmage Boston, both members of the Class of 1978, created one of the first Endowment for Excellence Scholarships in Law. “We got a great education and incredible friendships that stayed with us our entire lives. We wanted to find a way to honor that.” Read their story.
