The Texas Exes Awards Banquet is the biggest event of
the year! Each year, usually in June, Texas Exes and University
supporters gather together to celebrate the past year and honor those who
have given great support to our organization. Among those honors
given each year are: Longhorn of the Year, New Member of the
Year,
Corporate Sponsor of the Year.
The event also is
when honors and/or scholarships are awarded to deserving students from the
Corpus Christi area who attend The University of
Texas. Among those
honors given each year are: TECC Endowed Scholarship, Laura
Vasquez
Memorial Award, Camp Texas Leadership Award.
The
event also features a wonderful guest speaker from our University's past,
present, and/or future. If there is one event throughout the year
that you don't want to miss, this is it!
