Continuing Their Family Traditions

Making Austin College a family tradition comes in many forms; whether following the footsteps of siblings, parents, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, or other family connections. These legacy students carry on their family connection to ’RooNation. At opening of school, we invited new students to share their legacy connections and be photographed with their fellow ’Roo family members.
