The University of Texas at Austin welcomed its new students in grand style during the traditional Gone To Texas celebration Tuesday, Aug. 23. The program, held every year on the evening before classes begin, underscores what it means to be a Longhorn and highlights the academic mission of the university. The event’s theme is inspired by a chapter of Texas history. More than 200 years ago, as adventurers pulled up stakes seeking a fresh start, three letters etched on homestead doors revealed their destination. “GTT” was written on the doors of people indicating they had “Gone to Texas.”
