The Texas Exes Board Congratulates Chuck Harris

BY Alcalde Staff in 40 Acres May | June 2025 on May 29, 2025
The Texas Exes Board of Directors wishes to congratulate Chuck Harris on his retirement as Executive Director & CEO of the association.  

For more than seven years, Chuck has faithfully served his alma mater, leaving our alumni association stronger than ever.  

Always the entrepreneur, Chuck often credited The University of Texas alumni network as a key factor in his own success. It was only natural for him to launch the Longhorn Business Network to help Longhorn businesses tap into the most powerful alumni network on the planet.  

His passion for students has been evident in his work expanding the Forty Acres Scholars Program, Texas Exes Scholarships, and the Official Class Ring Program.  

We are forever grateful for these—and all—of Chuck’s contributions during his time as Executive Director & CEO. What a legacy he is leaving!
