Help us bring Longhorn spirit to life on campus and throughout the Austin community.
The Pharmacology & Toxicology Social and Outreach Committee at UT Austin is striving to strengthen both our graduate community and the greater Austin area. Our mission unites wellness, leadership, and service, empowering graduate students to thrive while giving back through meaningful outreach. By supporting this campaign, you’re helping us cultivate resilience, connection, and compassion that extend from our labs and classrooms into the heart of the Austin community.
💛Comfort and Care for Little Longhorns: We proudly support local hospitals by donating handmade blankets, wellness kits, and heartfelt cards. These small acts of care make a significant impact, reminding every child that the Longhorn community stands with them.
🧠STEM Education & Youth Outreach: PharmTox graduate students volunteer at local elementary schools to spark curiosity in science. Through fun, hands-on experiments and interactive demos, we inspire young minds to explore the wonders of STEM and see themselves as future scientists and innovators. These moments of mentorship reflect UT Austin’s mission: to educate, empower, and lead with purpose.
🌿Austin Parks & Trail Clean-Up Initiative: We lead park and trail clean-up efforts across Austin, promoting sustainability, hygiene, and community pride. In just one recent effort, we removed over 180 pounds of trash in only two hours—helping restore green spaces and creating safer environments for all to enjoy. These efforts reflect the Longhorn commitment to service, stewardship, and environmental responsibility.
💊Graduate Wellness & Community Building: We foster balance, camaraderie, and well-being among graduate students through events like the PharmTox Olympics, seasonal socials, and stress-relief activities. These programs help build a supportive, resilient community where future scientists and healthcare leaders can flourish.
🙌 Your Support Makes It Possible. Your generosity brings every part of our life mission, from hosting wellness events and supporting hospitalized children to keeping Austin’s parks clean and inspiring future scientists in local schools. Together, we can reach and continue building a culture of wellness, service, and compassion that reflects the very best of UT Austin. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a lasting impact.
