The university needs alumni to move the needle in a positive direction for higher education. Emailing, calling, and visiting your representative will help maintain and strengthen support for the university during this critical time for higher education.

    Chair's Message the End of My Term Is Approaching and I Wanted to Express My Thoughts Over the Past Several Years

    To view this email as a web page, go here. Chair's Message The end of my term is approaching and I wanted to express my thoughts over the past several years. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as the Texas Exes Hispanic Alumni Network Chair. I am proud of what the network has accomplished. We established this newsletter and began hosting quarterly networking events. We expanded the number of committees and added new board members to better serve our network. We developed a plan and a vision for the future of HAN. These achievements were made possible by the commitment and countless hours our volunteers gave to engage and support our alumni and students. I’m excited to announce the new Texas Exes Hispanic Alumni Network Chair, Casilda “Casi” Clarich! Casi has served as the Alumni Outreach/Communication Chair for the past several years. She is ready to serve as the leader of HAN and I know she will lead the network to continue to do great things! I want to personally thank Liz Harder, my dear friend, for introducing me to the Texas Exes almost 10 years ago and inviting me to my first Fiesta. That event got me Hooked! I also want to give a special thank you to Susana Aleman for providing guidance and advice throughout this experience. And of course, a big “thank you” to the countless dedicated HAN volunteers whose passion and support to HAN and the Longhorns are endless. The staff at the Texas Exes is outstanding! I could not have done it without them and our dedicated liaison, Brian Peterson, thank you! As my term comes to a close, I know the future is bright for HAN.
