You Make UT Great
What starts here changes the world. What starts here starts with you.
Longhorn Loyal recognizes The University of Texas at Austin’s most dedicated supporters. Students, alumni, faculty, staff, parents and friends who have made gifts in each of the three most recent fiscal years receive a membership to honor their loyalty and recognize their giving leadership. Longhorn Loyal members have collectively given more than $2 billion to UT in the last half century — an incredible show of support that is helping UT become the world’s highest-impact public research university.
Thank you for your loyalty.
I am honored to give back to the College of Pharmacy because it provided me with invaluable career opportunities, and because I am passionate about supporting current students on their journeys.”

It’s so important to give back to UT Austin. I’m grateful for the opportunities I received and life lessons I learned through attending this wonderful school. My time there was a pivotal start to a long-loved career, and I’m proud to be a UT alum.”

My late husband, Dr. Evan Kyba, and I always deeply appreciated the opportunities we received on the Forty Acres. Whether it goes to work in a lab or the community, our philanthropy is our way of paying it forward and supporting the world-changing work in the School of Nursing and College of Natural Sciences.”
