Transcript

Now it is time to get your horns up. The Longhorns have won 58 national championships and counting and Texas fans are some of the most spirited fans out there. Christian, a theater and dance major is gonna tell us what, how having Longhorn spirit is all about. It’s all you Christian.

– I appreciate that Alex. And what’s up to the people at home. I’ve known since I was three years old that I wanted to be an entertainer. Whether that I was acting, dancing or singing, I just knew I needed a place where I can explore it all. UT is the perfect home to pursue my various interests. As a theater major, I’ve been able to act in award-winning student films. And I was also able to fully dive into my musical side using the university’s fully equipped recording studio. Which eventually led to me opening up for the DJ duo, the Lost Kings. If there’s anything you need to know about UT it’s that we love our sports. The culture around athletics was so exciting that I decided that I wanted to be a part of it. Becoming a marketing intern with Texas Athletics has allowed me to learn about the business and the marketing side of sports. While also curating a welcoming environment for Texas fans all over. On almost any night, you can catch one of the many amazing UT sporting events. And I guarantee if you weren’t before you’ll be a fan by the end of the game. Longhorns know how to celebrate and show their spirit. Every home football game we have a huge parade with rides, our legendary cheer and pom squads, our mascots Bevo, Hook’Em and we got food and music on top of that. Coming to college, I really had the opportunity to explore all aspects of myself and chase my passions. Our slogan here is, what starts here, changes the world. And though my journey here is coming to an end. I guarantee this won’t be the last time you hear my name. See you soon and back to you Alex.

– Let’s go Texas.

– Thank you, Christian. Can’t wait to see everything you accomplish. So, UT has a unique tradition, for notable athletic achievements like conference or national championships, as well as academic accomplishments. The iconic tower is lit orange in celebration of those victories. And this thing can be seen from miles and miles away. It is a sight to see. Okay Christian, thanks again. Take care.
