Welcome to the Reading Round-Up—where UT faculty from across campus handpick amazing books and lead in-person conversations the day before classes begin. It's your chance to dive into genuine discussions with outstanding professors, while connecting with students from every major of the University.
Here's how to claim your spot: Browse the curated book list (you'll need your UT EID to access the registration page) and sign up for the one that speaks to you. Read it over the summer, then show up the day before classes start, ready to discuss with fellow future Longhorns and faculty who are genuinely excited to meet you.
The catch? This event is for incoming first-year students only. We keep groups small so you get real face time with professors and classmates—no lecture halls, no crowds, just genuine connection and brilliant conversation.
