Dear friends and colleagues,
We are thrilled! Texas Global is returning to a beautifully renovated space at 2400 Nueces. Our new home will be for everyone connected to global engagement, including students, faculty, alumni, international visitors, and the broader Austin community.
The University of Texas at Austin has always invested in the people, programs, innovations, and facilities that advance our mission, and this renovation underscores the significance of global engagement. We are building upon our many successes — including fostering a welcoming atmosphere, serving the needs of our expansive global community, and progressing in our endeavors both on campus and on a global scale.
I know you’ll appreciate reading about this new chapter in the following article about the renovation. It complements the recent recognitions and narratives highlighting the exceptional contributions of the University’s outstanding students, faculty, staff, and alumni, each doing their part to change the world.
