    Match Bevo with a pair of eclipse glasses and join the campus community for the once-in-a-lifetime eclipse. The total eclipse is expected on Monday, April 8 between 1 - 2 p.m., and our sundecks are “sunbeatable” viewing locations.

    We hear that anything you buy from the University Co-op with Bevo Pay counts as "school supplies." No matter where you live or where you’re from, show your UT pride by wearing burnt orange every Friday. #LonghornFriday 🧡 🤘
