Summit Success | Seoul set the ideal backdrop for more than 120 distinguished alumni, industry leaders, and academic partners from 15 countries to attend the inaugural Texas Global Alumni Summit. This landmark event celebrated our global Longhorn network, the depth of our research and exchange partnerships, and the enduring relationship between UT Austin and Korea. I invite you to enjoy highlights from the 2026 event and join us in London for our second summit, next April.
