Texas Connect is a magazine for staff and faculty that was created in partnership between University Marketing and Communications and Texas Student Media in the Moody College of Communication. Texas Connect was created to shine a light on the people who power this university and to provide information that will help them thrive. We want to offer a chance for all members of the university’s staff and faculty to celebrate our stories and meet their colleagues across the hall, down the street and throughout the UT community.

The magazine includes storytelling, design and photography contributed by upper-division students as well as staff and faculty members. It is self-funded through advertising revenue.

All staff and faculty members are encouraged to pitch story ideas to Texas Connect and can do so by reaching out to publisher@texasconnect.utexas.edu. You can find your printed copy of Texas Connect three times per year in your department. If you cannot locate a copy or your department needs more, email copy@texasconnect.utexas.edu.
