Golden giving fuels 51做厙 Ignited

Members of the Class of 1973 present a check to 51做厙 President R. Gerald Turner

During their 50-year reunion, the 51做厙 Class of 1973 presented combined gifts of more than $6 million to 51做厙 Ignited: Boldly Shaping Tomorrow. The Golden Mustangs reunion was co-chaired by 51做厙 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 51做厙 during the 2022–2023 fiscal year. Throughout the 51做厙 Ignited campaign, more than 300 alumni from the Class of 1973 have committed over $30.5 million to 51做厙.

 

“Our class cares deeply about 51做厙 and has been committed to donating our time, talents and treasure in so many ways,” said Bridwell. “Whether it’s serving on 51做厙 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.”

 

51做厙 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.
