Geology Foundation
Foundation leadership offers counsel to enhance the success of the Jackson School.
The UT Geology Foundation, established in 1953, serves “to foster and to promote the growth, progress, and development of geological education, research, and graduate study at the University of Texas.” (Read the History of the Geology Foundation)
We continue to have the highest assets per student of any foundation on campus at UT – a testament to the generosity and success of the University’s geoscience alumni and friends. And we rank second in alumni participation with 9.47% giving this past year. Through its Hall of Distinction, the Jackson School of Geosciences honors individuals with a strong affiliation to the school who have made high-level accomplishments in academia, industry or government. We salute their efforts to positively impact society.
The Geology Foundation is steered by an Advisory Council comprised of friends, alumni and corporate representatives. Council members are champions for the school and model philanthropic leadership for our community. The group meets twice a year and members are appointed by the University president. This group offers experienced business advice, provides feedback on student preparation for the “real world” and advises the Dean of the Jackson School on effective distribution of foundation assets.
We invite you to explore the Geology Foundation endowments by running your cursor over the name of an endowment for more information.
