Tradition Starts Here!

Beat the Heat in August 2023

It’s time for our newest Longhorns to start living the Longhorn life!

Longhorn Welcome is UT Austin’s official welcome for all new and returning Longhorns that officially kicks off with Mooov-In on Aug. 23. Coordinated by New Student Services, this campus-wide series of free events helps create the foundation for an impactful college experience that leads our students to successful careers and lives.

With their mission to help new students transition to college life, the New Student Services team increased the action-packed welcome event lineup in Fall 2023. The team coordinated 13 Signature Events and 50 campus events – a 37% increase in events from Fall 2022. The official Class of 2027 photo was also the largest on record with 3,000 students.

This year there are 13 Signature Events and dozens of campus events. With events like Mooov-In, Gone to Texas, Longhorn Live and the Class Photo, Longhorn Welcome inspires a sense of belonging for new and returning students, motivating them to live the Longhorn life.

"Longhorn Welcome broke me out of my shell and made college seem much less scary. I also met so many of my now friends at events!" explained Anne Renteria, a junior social work major from Luling, Texas.

All events are created to give students the opportunity to meet other Longhorns, discover campus resources, explore the Forty Acres and celebrate UT Austin’s pride and traditions. Longhorn Welcome features larger Signature Events, as well as dozens of campus events hosted by a variety of campus partners allowing all students to attend events that fit their individual interests.

Longhorn Welcome is one of many unique programs from the Division of Student Affairs – the University’s hub of student life and well-being. See the schedule at longhornwelcome.utexas.edu and download the Longhorn Welcome app for more information.

Bugatti 'Aerolithe'

Only four Type 57 Atlantic Coupes were ever produced by Bugatti. One of them went to Parisian entrepreneur Jacques Holzshuh, before meeting its end on a railway crossing. Another was delivered new to Baron Victor Rothschild and is owned today by American collector Peter Mullin. A third is currently in the hands of Ralph Lauren, while the fourth? Nobody knows. One of the great mysteries of the car world is the whereabouts of ‘La Voiture Noire’: Jean Bugatti’s very own Type 57 Atlantic.

But the car that previewed the lot of them is the one above. Sort of. It’s a rebodied, restored Bugatti ‘Aerolithe’; a prototype first shown off at the 1935 Paris Motor Show.

A man named David Grainger from The Guild of Automotive Restoration was commissioned to recreate the car that paved the way for the most famous pre-war car ever built. He had the original chassis of the Aerolithe – number 57104 – as well as its original 3.3-litre eight-cylinder engine, and rear axle. But no body.

Indeed, David’s team at The Guild had but 11 photos to work from… and had to adhere to coachbuilding standards of the day. Which means they had to fashion the body from magnesium, which is – by all accounts – incredibly difficult to work with. They spent years riveting and shaping the panels into that simply gorgeous Aerolithe form.
