It is an opportunity to connect or reconnect with other Alumni to continue to build meaningful relationships that can mutually benefit us and our community.

Alumni Council
The Breakthrough Central Texas Alumni Council was formed in late 2019 to foster a continuing educational and philanthropic relationship with Breakthrough Alumni and create a space for Breakthrough’s first-generation college graduates to connect as they transition to their professional careers.
The Alumni Council is comprised of up to 15 voting members of the Alumni Network, in addition to Alumni Council Co-Chairs, that help lead, plan and execute Alumni relations, events and opportunities in collaboration with Breakthrough’s staff liaison. Members proudly adopt the Alumni Council core values of excellence, lifelong relationships, lifelong learning, inclusiveness and diversity, advocacy, and Breakthrough pride, along with supporting strong relationships between Alumni Network members and current students.
