DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD
From time to time, there emerges an individual who was not a student at The University of Texas at Austin whose service makes a profound and positive difference to The University. In recognition of this remarkable service, The Texas Exes may, by consensus of its past presidents, present a special award in conjunction with the annual Distinguished Alumnus Awards. The merit of the award is defined by the quality and stature of recipients, and is not routinely awarded.
