Join your fellow UT students on Wednesday, Aug. 26 for a night of FREE events.
The first day of Fall 2015 classes on the Forty Acres promises to provide a spirited, Texas-style welcome to all students with Horns Up Night, a trifecta of events for every Student Orange Blood! It all kicks off on Wednesday, Aug. 26 when Texas Athletics hosts the Texas Kickoff Rally at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Students should enter through Gate 8 in the northwest corner of the stadium. Gates will be open at 5:45 p.m. The event is FREE for all UT students.
Following the Texas Kickoff Rally, freshmen are invited onto the field to participate with President Fenves in the official Texas '19 Class Photo. This photo is the freshman class' opportunity to form the largest Longhorn ever on the field. Finally, Horns Up Night is capped off with the annual Orange and White Welcome BBQ, hosted by the Texas Exes. Following the Texas '19 Class Photo, students can head across the street to the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center for FREE BBQ and more! Horns Up Night is a part of Longhorn Welcome.
