To help adjust to Life as a Longhorn, a series of free events called Longhorn Welcome kicks off Aug. 21 with Mooov-In, where students, faculty and staff welcome and help move more than 7,400 new and returning students into campus residence halls. The festivities continue with 10 signature events, including From Austin with Love, Gone to Texas and Party on the Plaza.

The Longhorn Welcome celebration wraps up on Sept. 5 with a watch party for the first football game of the season. Dozens of other Longhorn Welcome events are also taking place to celebrate UT Austin's core values and traditions. For a full schedule, visit www.longhornwelcome.com.
