UT’s Jefferson Center Teaches the Value of Civility and Connection ...

On the second floor of Waggener Hall—a slightly musty building with hardwood floors and paned windows still intact from the earliest days of campus construction—you’re likely to find some of the brightest young minds at the University curled up under the lamplight of the Jefferson Center’s student lounge.    Erik Dempsey, associate professor of instruction and the assistant director of the Thomas Jefferson Center for Core Texts and Ideas, will often bustle in to refill the snack bins or observe a lively debate between his students, known as UT’s own Jefferson Scholars.

Alumni Share the Wacky Jobs They Worked as Students

From textbooks to beer money, college costs have a way of adding up. The Alcalde surveyed alumni to learn about the good, the bad, and the ugly jobs that UT students have worked over the years to keep the bills paid. (For example, this editor scooped ice cream at the Guadalupe outpost of Amy’s Ice Cream.) The responses—more than 200 of them, and counting—form an unexpectedly delightful portrait of our ever-changing campus and city.  Illustrations by Alex Eben Meyer “I worked in the Athletic Ticket Office. That meant selling tickets, working the student ticket draws, and helping set up the

Good Reads Q&A: This Author Tells Two Longhorn Stories to Confront ...

When one hears the word “muscle,” the first person one probably imagines is a tanned, male bodybuilder who has taken anabolic steroids to superficially enhance his biceps and quads. Michael Joseph Gross wants to intervene with that instinct. With the help of two Longhorns, his new book proves that muscle matters to everyone.  Gross profiles three characters who make up the bulk (pun intended) of the book: Janice “Jan” Todd, Charles Stocking, and Maria Fiatarone Singh. Todd, PhD ’95, Life Member, is the chair of UT’s Department of Kinesiology and Health Education, as well as co-founder of the H

Jeremy Egner. As the television editor at the New York Times, Jeremy Egner, BA ’99, can do some of his best reporting at home on his sofa. But when Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso premiered in the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic, as much of the world was also confined to their couches, he didn’t know what to make of it at first. The television series had an unusual origin story: Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt created the character of Lasso years prior to advertise NBC Sports’ Premier League coverage. The story of the show’s cultural impact is the material of Egner’s first book. He spoke with the Alcalde to

The mystic poet Rumi wrote “The Guest House” about personifying complex emotions as visitors to one’s body—but this can be a difficult concept to wrap one’s head around, especially for children who might not have the language yet for what they are feeling.

The Way Back: Dog Days

The Longhorns’ first season in the Southeastern Conference will involve plenty of familiar faces, old rivals whom we might not have encountered in decades. Our last matchup against Vanderbilt, for example, was in 1928, when Clyde Littlefield was the head football coach. But the University of Georgia has had some memorable meetings with UT. Remember…
