Tradition Starts Here!
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.
This 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.
Gone to Texas
Join the herd and start your Longhorn journey with your built-in crew!
Longhorn Link-Up is your chance to kick off Longhorn Welcome with a group of fellow new Longhorns and a student leader who’s here to guide you, answer your questions, and cheer you on during your first week on campus.
Each group is led by a Link-Up Leader who you’ll meet up with throughout the week and attend at least one Longhorn Welcome event together--because everything’s better with friends!
Whether you’re looking for advice, good vibes, or just someone to explore UT with Longhorn Link-Up is the perfect way to make your first week unforgettable.

Longhorn Friday
Longhorn Friday is a way for Longhorns everywhere to show their Texas spirit and unite the UT community around the world, and it’s as simple as wearing burnt orange or the Longhorn silhouette every Friday.
