Have you recently graduated? Fill out this form and let us know!

In Spring 2019, the Jefferson Center launched its Alumni Association. Upon graduation, those who have completed the Certificate in Core Texts and Ideas are automatically enrolled. We will send you occasional updates on the Jefferson Center and its doings, in Austin and elsewhere.

The mission of the Association is to foster a community among our alumni and to advocate for the distinctive educational vision that the Jefferson Center represents. We encourage alumni to hold events like book discussions and social gatherings for our alums in different cities throughout the country. The education in the great books and the liberal arts does not end with your graduation (or ever, really), and the Association provides a way to continue it, even after the end of your formal schooling.

If you are interested in helping to organize an event in your city, please let us know.

We also are continually on the lookout for new ways to support the work that the Center is doing at UT. For information on giving, please visit the Support Us page.

We are delighted to have Joey Sorenson as director of the Association. Among the earliest participants in the Jefferson Scholars program, Joey graduated in 2014. Following a successful stint in software sales, Joey pursued his graduate education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and is now the founder and owner of LifeDynamic Counseling & Psychotherapy in Austin. As founding Director of the Jefferson Scholars Alumni Association, Joey hopes to build an engaged network of alumni to participate in continued discussion and dialogue on great books and big ideas into adulthood, to mentor current students, and to work to advance the mission of the Jefferson Center and promote its continued thriving into the coming years and decades.

If you are interested in becoming more involved with the Association, or if you would just like to keep us posted on what you are doing, please reach out directly to Joey. You can also use this form to give us updates.
