Student Life

Valerie Jarrett served as senior advisor to the President from Jan. 20, 2009 to 2017. 

Under state law, 90% of UT-Austin’s incoming freshman class must be Texas residents.

UT’s campus is filled with squirrels and birds, but inside the dorms it’s another story.

Aside from the time spent on class work, many UT students also have responsibilities to the various organizations that they are part of. Longhorn Data Exchange is an organization started in fall 2018 that aims to take some of the load off student organization leaders. They host an crowdsourced database with logistical solutions, such as which vendors to cater from or where they can borrow event equipment.
