As the calendar readies its turn toward a new year, it’s the perfect moment to reflect on the causes that inspire us—those that ignite curiosity, foster innovation, and unite communities. The University of Texas Libraries stand as a pillar of these values, shaping lives and driving academic excellence.
Your year-end gift to the Libraries is more than a donation; it’s a profound investment in education, discovery, and the transformative power of knowledge. Contributions help sustain vital resources, from state-of-the-art technology to groundbreaking collections, ensuring students and scholars can achieve their potential.
Why Give?
Giving is more than generosity; it’s about creating meaningful impact. A tax-deductible year-end gift to UT Libraries aligns your philanthropic vision with your financial goals while making a lasting difference.
This year, there’s a unique opportunity to honor a leader who has exemplified these values. As UT Libraries prepares for the retirement of Director Lorraine J. Haricombe in 2025, we celebrate her extraordinary legacy with the creation of the Lorraine J. Haricombe Distinguished Lecture Fund.
A Legacy of Inspiration
The Distinguished Lecture Fund will support an annual speaker series, bringing renowned experts to campus to inspire critical thinking, enrich dialogue, and showcase the breadth of UT Libraries’ resources. This enduring initiative reflects Lorraine Haricombe’s commitment to curiosity, diversity, and community engagement.
Your contribution to this fund ensures that her vision continues to uplift students, faculty, and the broader Austin community for years to come.
