CANYON, Texas - Buffs across the Austin area are invited to attend an upcoming event in Georgetown.

The WT Alumni Association will host graduates and friends at 3 p.m. Nov. 17 at Rentsch Brewery, 2500 N.E. Inner Loop 3105 in Georgetown.

To RSVP, visit wtamuuw.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bNtfNAl9NZXZ2mO.

"We're always excited to hit the road to meet with our fellow Buffs, and it's been a while since we've been in this part of the greater Austin area," said Ronnie Hall, Alumni Association executive director. "These events are a welcome opportunity to catch up and hear what's going on in their lives since graduating, and we look forward to hearing their ideas for other ways we can connect with alumni."

Admission is free.

Maintaining strong community ties is a component of the University's long-range plan, WT 125: From the Panhandle to the World.

That plan is fueled by the historic One West comprehensive fundraising campaign, which reached its initial $125 million goal 18 months after publicly launching in September 2021. The campaign's new goal is to reach $175 million by 2025; currently, it has raised more than $160 million.
