Alumni Tailgate

Welcome Back to UT PGE

The Hildebrand Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering hosts annual alumni tailgates focused on connecting new and legacy members of the UT PGE community.

This year, join us back at the Forty Acres on October 17, 2026 before the Texas Longhorns take on the Florida Gators. We’ll be at the CPE Lawn bright and early from 8am – 11am celebrating PGE excellence and honoring the CPE building you know and love.

We can’t wait to see you there! And don’t forget to wear your UT Austin swag and burnt orange!
