Since 1849, Austin College has been enabling students to find their True North by equipping them with the tools to navigate the world as fully engaged citizens. The Founders Society was established to honor those individuals who, through extraordinary philanthropy and lifetime giving, have been foremost in the success of the College. These generous individuals are helping chart the course for our continuing journey, while upholding the spirit and values of the institution’s Presbyterian founders. Austin College gratefully acknowledge these friends who stand at the helm, compass in hand, as members of the Founders Society.
