Golden giving fuels Çàɬֱ²¥ Ignited

Members of the Class of 1973 present a check to Çàɬֱ²¥ President R. Gerald Turner

During their 50-year reunion, the Çàɬֱ²¥ Class of 1973 presented combined gifts of more than $6 million to Çàɬֱ²¥ Ignited: Boldly Shaping Tomorrow. The Golden Mustangs reunion was co-chaired by Çàɬֱ²¥ Trustee Tucker S. Bridwell ’73, ’74; James L. Deem ’73, ’77 and Katharine Wilson Deem ’73; Stephen D. Sims ’73 and Susie Frey Woodall ’73.

 

Over 150 members of the Class of 1973 donated to Çàɬֱ²¥ during the 2022–2023 fiscal year. Throughout the Çàɬֱ²¥ Ignited campaign, more than 300 alumni from the Class of 1973 have committed over $30.5 million to Çàɬֱ²¥.

 

“Our class cares deeply about Çàɬֱ²¥ and has been committed to donating our time, talents and treasure in so many ways,” said Bridwell. “Whether it’s serving on Çàɬֱ²¥ boards and committees or cheering on the Mustang athletics teams, we are proud of our connection to the Hilltop. That also shows up in our giving.”

 

Çàɬֱ²¥ is incredibly grateful to the alumni and donors who empower Mustangs by investing in the future of the University. We proudly celebrated the Golden Mustangs during May’s Commencement Weekend at an event in the Meadows School of the Arts’ Gene and Jerry Jones Grand Atrium.
