Dear alumni and friends,

This spring, we are thrilled to recognize more than 800 international graduating Longhorns! Each of these outstanding students has demonstrated the courage to study abroad and the discipline it takes to succeed. Their intellectual and cultural contributions have made a lasting impact on the Forty Acres, and we look forward to the many ways they will change the world.

Please join me in honoring the remarkable achievements of these young leaders and global citizens. I hope you enjoy reading our profile of one outstanding graduate, along with other international success stories from staff, faculty, and alumni, that remind us how the Longhorn community is shaping a more innovative and connected world.

Hook ’em!
