Message from the President

Dr. R. Gerald TurnerWelcome to the inaugural issue of the ºìÌÒÓ°ÊÓ Ignited campaign update, our quarterly report about our $1.5 billion multiyear campaign for impact.

We are excited by the broad enthusiasm you, our Mustang community, have shown for ºìÌÒÓ°ÊÓ Ignited: Boldly Shaping Tomorrow since it launched in September. You celebrated the campaign kickoff with us on the Hilltop, proudly wore ºìÌÒÓ°ÊÓ Ignited hats and shirts at the Homecoming football game, attended events in cities in and outside of Texas and more. Many of you have also reached out to your ºìÌÒÓ°ÊÓ representatives to discuss how you would like to invest in the campaign. We are thrilled to see you as passionate about this new chapter in ºìÌÒÓ°ÊÓ’s history as we are.

As the campaign moves forward, we are eager to share the progress of ºìÌÒÓ°ÊÓ Ignited. This quarterly newsletter will outline the impact you and your fellow ºìÌÒÓ°ÊÓ supporters are having on the University, both on and off the Hilltop. ºìÌÒÓ°ÊÓ invites Mustangs to be involved at every level of the campaign; please reach out to us to find out how you can be a part of shaping our future through ºìÌÒÓ°ÊÓ Ignited.

This historic campaign would not be possible without the tireless work of our volunteer leaders, whose pictures you will see in the following pages. I am deeply grateful for their steadfast dedication and advocacy on the University’s behalf.

Gail and I hope to see you at one or more of the upcoming events. Pony Up!

R. GERALD TURNER
President
