UT Chancellor’s Council

Founded in 1965, the Chancellor’s Council comprises dedicated supporters and friends of the UT System. More than 7,000 persons are members of this important support group.

Individuals become members based on their past record of private support of one of the 15 institutions in the UT System. Membership is open to individuals who have made cumulative cash contributions of $10,000 or planned gifts of $15,000 to a UT institution or the UT System.

The Chancellor’s Council is a donor recognition group, and membership carries no obligation to make future gifts. Although members are invited to make contributions for strategic use by the Chancellor, response is a matter of individual choice.

In addition to association with a collegial group of individuals who support The University of Texas, some of the benefits and activities associated with membership include:

• An annual meeting in Austin, including the Chancellor’s “State of the System” remarks, special presentations focusing on innovative programs by UT System institutions and a reception following the meeting;
• Higher education updates hosted by the Chancellor and members of the Board of Regents at briefing sessions held in communities across the state;
• Information shared via publications, periodic mailings, and other electronic and personal communications;
• Invitations to provide advice and counsel to the Chancellor on educational plans and objectives of the System.
