Board of Visitors
The University of Texas at Austin McDonald Observatory and Department of Astronomy Board of Visitors is a supporters' group for the Texas Astronomy Program. The Texas Astronomy Program ranks among the top astronomy programs in the United States and the world. For that reason, many Texans participate in the Board of Visitors who are not UT alumni. The BoV includes business people, educators, attorneys, scientists, artists, architects, and engineers. In fact, this diversity is considered one of the great strengths of the Board of Visitors. more..
