UT Alumni Forum - Where Texas Exes Network!

Where Texas Exes Network!

Welcome to the UT Alumni Forum

This Texas Exes Forum has roots in the UT Alumni Groups on Linkedin. The site was created to foster communication and interaction among Longhorn faithful. The goal is to provide Exes with a forum to discuss a wide array of topics; Business Opportunities, Networking Events(social/professional), Athletics, Fundraisers, UT news, ~~Aggies~~.....

The flexibility of the Ning platform allows Texas Exes to browse polls, groups, pictures, videos and create their own profile, blogs and discussions.

You can track the evolution of the Alumni Forum in the blog posts.

Spread the word on Linkedin and come join us here for some Bevo Talk!

I Fail, That is Why I Succeed

Posting Positive Blogs

When I first started blogging on here, one of the things I told everyone was that I would keep my posts as positive as possible. So far, I have done that, and I have gotten some nice comments from people reading them saying how much they like the posts. I have managed to make several new friends as a result. I’m glad to know that others out there appreciate the things I’ve been writing, so I will definitely keep posting them.

I chose to write positive posts because I have seen so many negative… Continue

My First Blog On Linkedinexes.com

As is my tradition when I join a new interactive site, I am posting my first blog to let the readers know “the shape of things to come” in my blogs. One of the reasons I enjoy blogging is because it helps me keep in practice between my free-lance writing projects, and I’ve found that it’s a great way to share my perspectives with others. It’s also a very relaxing hobby.

I use my blogs to relay ideas in a constructive manner rather than as an excuse for online ranting or whining about events whi… Continue

April was as gentle as a Lamb!

One of the reasons folks fall in love with Austin while at UT is spring time in central Texas! What a great month for the UT Alumni Forum. Proud to welcome Korea to the international contingent of 13 nations represented here on the UT Forum. While Brooklyn joins the already strong representation from The Big Apple, showing that Longhorns “Do Love New York”. The already strong groups in Dallas, Houston and San Antonio continue to grow along with the entire West Coast. Of course Austin, the… Continue
