Welcome to the 129th year of the University of Texas Ladies Club. I am excited and ready to serve as your new President for this academic year, and look forward to students, faculty and staff returning to the 40 Acres, and a new season of UT sports for our athletes. I hope everyone has had a safe and enjoyable summer, and ready to begin a new academic year of lunches, meetings and events to keep us busy and entertained reading books, trying foreign foods, tasting wines, or adventures learning more about our neighborhoods.
I would like to thank Christine Gilbert, as past president for two years, and the new and returning Executive Committee Members for serving, and for the knowledge and help, provided to be able to serve our great group of UT-supporting women. Thank you all for your commitment to our organization, who contribute time, treasures and effort. I am also looking forward to our first lunch and business meeting on October 8, 2025, at Balcones Country Club at 11:00 a.m., honoring our past presidents. Please remember to send in dues, donate to the scholarship fund, and send in your lunch checks timely.
In closing, it has been a tragic summer for Central Texas, and we deeply mourn the loss of so many lives, and for all who have been impacted by The Hill Country flooding on July 4th, 2025. I am grateful for those working tirelessly to help in the recovery, and the many lives that have been saved.
Sincerely,
Julianne Harris Shively,
University Ladies Club President 2025-2026
