UT Austin Graduate School Honors Bill Owens
 

Colorado Governor Bill Owens (LBJ Class of 1975) is the recipient of the Graduate School's Outstanding Alumnus Award for 2000. Owens, who was elected governor in 1998, previously served as state treasurer, state senator, and state representative in Colorado. As part of the award a $5,000 fellowship has been set up by the university in Owens' name. The fellowship will be awarded to an LBJ School student for the 2000-2001 academic year. This is the second consecutive year that an LBJ School graduate has been selected for the award. Social Security Commissioner Ken Apfel (Class of 1978) received the honor last year.
