And the LBJ Presidential Library at UT was the first presidential library to be located on a college campus. Guillermo a radio television film major is gonna tell us more about UT as a hub of art and culture.

– Appreciate the introduction Alex. I wanted to in a college that promoted and celebrated how people from different backgrounds engaged in creative endeavors. After looking at UT and its radio TV film program, the choice was easy. Getting involved in media communities, such as the university TV stations, video game hour live or working for on campus change through groups like the Black and LatinX advising student to student program. You can establish meaningful connections all around UT. But you can’t discuss arts and culture in Texas without mentioning art museums, showcasing globally important artwork and cultural treasures. Like one of the world’s earliest photographs. Our performing arts venues are world class too and attract full scale Broadway shows and A-list entertainers. Throughout my time at UT I found meaningful relationships in communities appealing to both my culture and career interests by joining extracurricular organizations. I’ve also found that the historical resources on campus like the LBJ Presidential Library and our humanities research center are especially valuable. That’s all from me. Back to you Alex.

– Awesome job Guillermo. Thanks for sharing how vibrant art and culture is at UT. That was absolutely fantastic. Take care.
