Longhorn Welcome is UT's official welcome for all new and returning Longhorns! As soon as students move to Austin, they can look forward to an exciting series of events hosted across campus. Throughout the first week of classes, students are welcomed with a vibrant lineup of events happening across campus.
The campus-wide celebration includes major Signature Events as well as dozens of activities hosted by campus partners—offering something for everyone, no matter their interests. Each event is designed to help students connect with fellow Longhorns, discover valuable campus resources, explore the Forty Acres, and take part in the traditions that make UT unique.
