Every Longhorn Has a Tower Memory. Help Keep It Shining.
Every Longhorn has a Tower memory.
We gathered beneath it for milestone photos, class ring celebrations, graduations, and big wins.
We watched it glow orange in celebration.
We stood in its shadow as students—and left campus forever changed.
For generations, the Tower has been the heart of the Forty Acres and a symbol of everything it means to be a Longhorn: excellence, tradition, and a community that stands together.
But time has taken its toll. To ensure the Tower continues to shine for future Longhorns, it’s time to invest in its renewal. And as the keeper of the University’s most cherished traditions, the Texas Exes is here to rally alumni worldwide to help revitalize our beloved Tower and its legacy.
That's where Longhorn Nation comes in.
When Longhorns show up, even with a small gift, we accomplish extraordinary things together. Your support will help restore and revitalize the Tower so it remains a beacon of pride, celebration, and connection for generations to come.
Give today and help keep the Tower shining bright.
Hook ’em.
