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!
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.
