Students volunteering at The Project

26 years. Thousands of Longhorns. One day of service that builds skills, careers and community leaders.

The Division of Student Affairs is the hub of student life and well-being at The University of Texas at Austin. The team inspires all students — undergraduate, graduate and professional — to live the Longhorn life through its uniquely-designed programs, spaces and resources. They serve every student through physical health, mental health and well-being services; new student and family orientations; recreational sports; two university unions; and the University’s official parent association. The Division departments support 1,100+ student organizations; student governance organizations; student outreach, legal, and disability and access services. The team also provides student employment, leadership, first generation and volunteer programs.
