My uni has an alumni webpage which lists every chapter including those overseas. Does UT Austin list theirs?

Why, exactly, would anyone in Korea want to hang out SPECIFICALLY with people who went to the same school they did. Is there some kind of secret handshake you're just dying to do or something?

The obvious answer would be to build a network here in Korea. I went to a pretty good uni in the states, and when I went to the alumni meeting in Seoul, I met some very successful people who speak excellent English.

I'm a Baylor grad who grew up in Houston amongst a sea of Horns.

Anywhere to watch UT-OU in Seoul?
