The University of Texas at Austin is built on a bold and enduring mission. We have a duty to serve students, families, patients and the great people of Texas. Your support enables us to take big steps forward and reach greater heights. The What Starts Here campaign has helped us achieve that in remarkable and historic ways. And our greatest days are ahead.

Texas students are thriving. The scholarships and support funded through this campaign have opened the door for more young Texans to come to the Forty Acres. They arrive here ready to learn, grow and develop their curiosity. They leave here ready to lead, serve and be positive contributors to our society.

Texas research leads the nation. The best minds work together on our campus. Longhorns advance the frontiers of science — from energy and artificial intelligence to materials science, life sciences and more. The discoveries that start here don’t just stay here. They improve lives across Texas and the world.

We are taking one of our boldest steps yet. We are building an academic medical center and adding human health to the heart of our mission — bringing together research, education and care in a way that will transform human life and flourishing. In April, we celebrated a historic gift that made our vision real. That day was just the beginning.

We are building something one-of-a-kind that will serve generations to come. Every Longhorn is part of this moment. We invite you to be part of our future.

Hook ’em!
