Prime Time
Each year we celebrate a new group of Outstanding Young Texas Ex Award recipients with—what else?—a party. Transformed into a hip lounge featuring white sofas and soft jazz, the Alumni Center ballroom was filled with attendees eager to greet this year’s class. The honorees include a spirited entrepreneur who founded a multimillion-dollar company; a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who uncovered grand jury corruption; a two-time Olympic gold medalist and NBA MVP; an engineer who wants to take aerospace to the next level; and a member of a political dynasty who’s forging his own path. Did we mention that these accomplished Longhorns are all under the age of 40?
