One of the most important events of the year at The University of Texas at Austin is Explore UT – a day-long celebration during which we open the doors of our campus to the state. And on March 3, 2012, we once again welcome you to explore one of America’s great teaching and research universities.

One of my favorite moments of the day is when buses, filled with Texas school children, arrive on the campus. Their excitement is contagious, and it allows those of us who have been here a while to see this amazing place through new eyes.

We like to say “What starts here changes the world.” And for thousands of families, school children, and Texas citizens, a life-long relationship with this university will start at Explore UT. The University belongs to all of Texas, so come see it for yourself and be a Longhorn for a day.

The University of Texas at Austin is an exciting place. As you Explore UT, allow your imagination to be expanded by everything UT can show you. Dream big and ask lots of questions. UT has so much to offer you, and so many opportunities you probably did not think were possible.

Just like you, all of the students at UT made an exploration of UT at some point, too. We are now part of this diverse and caring community, and it is our turn to share our favorite corners of the university with you. Many of the smiling faces you will see on March 3rd are UT students who are volunteering in the information booths, riding the shuttle, making presentations, helping in the labs and demonstrating their incredible passion for learning and The University of Texas at Austin.

I hope you will attend Explore UT and discover what all of us on campus have come to cherish: the incredible spirit of Texas, the spirit of limitless possibility.

Welcome to The University of Texas at Austin and Hook 'em Horns!
