Meeting Longhorns from China
Kelvin Ma and James Ding, our alumni from China, visited Hong Kong for business in November.

Texas Football Watching Party (Kansas @ Texas)

Message from the Interim Administration Unit
Dear members, Our Constitution requires the Interim Administration Unit, when there is no Exco, sends the members a reminder every 3 months that we are accepting application for election as Exco members and that we need our members’ help to organize activities for our members. As communicated before, no members stood for election in our […]
Red River Rivalry Watching Party
The event was originally canceled because of no appropriate venue. But since our alumnus Bryan Cheng is my friend for years, he suggested to come to my home to watch the game, since we already have the feed anyway. And I thought: why not? So Bryan and Andy Chan came to my home at midnight. […]

1st IAU Meeting
This is the first ever Interim Administration Unit meeting. We decided that the meeting should start at 7:07pm on July 7 for no good reason. We picked a new venue for the meeting. No more City Hall Maxim or someone’s home, but a place called Texas Burger, something Texan for a Texas alum meeting.

Texas in Texas Bowl Live Watching Party

Thanksgiving Dinner
Our Thanksgiving Dinner happened on December 6, Saturday. This year we moved our dinner to Grappa’s Cellar in Central where people can enjoy some live jazz music played by the band in the restaurant. Probably because of the protest going on nearby the dinner was a smaller party than the thanksgiving dinners we had in […]
