Clements Center mourns the passing of Joel Robuck

Jan 28, 2026

Joel Robuck was a treasured member of the Clements Center Advisory Board whose steady support and deep commitment helped shape our work for years. His genuine love for students, especially our May Term alumni, was evident in the time and energy he invested in them. Joel was an astute observer of America’s diplomatic and military affairs, and he was confident that Longhorns were uniquely qualified to be leaders in the field in the 21^st century. Joel’s leadership, generosity, and belief in our mission strengthened the Center and left a lasting impact on our community, on Texas, and on the United States. We mourn his passing and honor his legacy of service, excellence, and kindness.
