Gone to Texas

Don’t miss Gone to Texas, the official welcome to UT Austin hosted by President Hartzell on Wednesday, August 24. Held on the Main Mall in front of the Tower, this tradition ushers in the newest members of Longhorn Nation with a ceremony rich in tradition, Longhorn spirit, and of course, fireworks. Don’t miss this milestone event specifically for new students!
