Who We Are
Founded in 1923, Texas Orange Jackets (OJs) is one of the oldest honorary service organizations on campus with a membership of women and nonbinary folks dedicated to upholding the tenets of service, leadership, scholarship, and community. We are a service organization that serves as official hosts of the University of Texas at Austin. Orange Jackets membership devotes itself to serving the university, the Austin community, and supporting individual members’ initiatives. We spend countless hours volunteering at The Settlement Home for Children, our primary philanthropy for over two decades.
What We’re Fundraising For
Previously, the Tap Class of 2021 has fundraised to support disability advocacy initiatives and programs. OJs is continuing this effort for this Spring 40 for Forty. This fundraiser aims to raise money to support students with disabilities through UT's Disability Cultural Center (DCC). All funds raised will go directly to this program.
Thanks to the advocacy and support of students, faculty, and staff, the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement (DDCE) secured university funding to establish a new Disability Cultural Center (DCC) and hire a founding director. The DCC will serve as a hub on campus for organizing, community-building, and expression for students with disabilities and all members of the university community. The DCC will encourage interpersonal connection and collaborative learning toward more equitable spaces for disabled people in collaboration with other DDCE/UT departments. Establishing a DCC sends the message that UT Austin recognizes disabled people as an integral part of the campus community.
Your Impact
Every dollar that is raised will go directly towards supporting students with disabilities and all members of the University. The first of its kind in Texas, the DCC positions UT Austin as a leader in exploring more equitable futures for disabled people who study, teach, and work in higher education.
