– Thanks Alex. I still remember first time I toured the 40 acres. I was overwhelmed with the possibilities at my fingertips as a Longhorn. UT is truly a first class university from the library resources and research opportunities to the endless ways that students can get involved. I came to UT Austin as an international relations major, and I quickly found my way to Moody College of Communication. I’m so fortunate to have a full ride scholarship through the Dedman Distinguished Scholars Program, which is one of the largest endowments here at UT. This scholarship has granted me the financial freedom to truly explore what’s authentic for me. I’ve been able to take so many classes with professors who are passionate about the subjects they teach, which in turn inspires me. The staff and faculty at UT are always willing to help students. And if they don’t have an answer for you, they’re gonna connect you to someone who does. I’m so grateful that I’m able to explore my interests with the liberal arts, with my love for creative projects. I’ve even been able to edit raw footage from an Emmy winning TV show. Centers around campus offer free tutoring, writing assistance and career services. which is great if you’re looking for an internship. Experiences in Longhorn are truly invaluable. There’s something here for everyone with over 170 fields of study for students to explore. For me, the most meaningful experience has been working as a teaching assistant on campus. When I’m working in assisting students. I remember how grateful I am to be burnt orange. It’s true, what starts here, changes the world. That’s it from me. Thanks Alex. Hook’em.
