Visiting the UT Austin Campus

Here are some of the must-see places for university of texas visitors.

As the fall school semester begins, visitors, families and future Longhorns will be coming to Austin to explore all there is to offer. A staple of Austin city life since 1883, The University of Texas campus is located just north of the heart of the city and is home to a diverse and fluid population of more than 50,000 students. During late summer, visitors get to experience the unique and expansive campus in a slightly quieter state – before classes begin. This is the perfect time to explore the Forty Acres and surrounding areas without as much of the pedestrian traffic that occurs the rest of the year.

Take a Tour

Campus Tours For a realistic glimpse of student life, campus tours are a great way to see the best of the Forty Acres. Recently admitted high school seniors may register for an  on-campus walking tour.  Advance registration is required and same-day reservations are not available for on-campus tours. Prospective students who are not recently admitted high school seniors may take advantage of the University's many  live virtual sessions  and tours or the  Look Around Virtual Tour .

Blanton Museum of Art The University at Austin is home to several world-class museums that display diversity through art, history, science and culture. To see the best of local and international art, stop by the Blanton and take a tour, or walk through at your own pace. The museum holds regular events and tours. Advance reservations are currently required.

LBJ Presidential Library   (temporarily closed) For the history buffs in the family, stop by the Lyndon B. Johnson Library on the Eastern edge of campus and explore LBJ's presidency and lifespan. Exhibits are informative and family friendly. Be sure to stop by on August 27 and celebrate LBJ's birthday with free admission and cake!

Iconic Restaurants Near Campus

Dirty Martin's Place A trip to Austin isn't complete without exploring the renowned food scene, and student-favorite Dirty's Martin's is sure to be a family hit. Fresh ingredients including legendary burgers, handmade fries and onion rings make this place a required stop, and its proximity to campus and "the Drag" (Guadalupe near campus) make it an easy stop for visitors. Be sure to try a Kum-Bak Burger paired with a local beer for an iconic Austin experience.

Torchy's Tacos Torchy's began its ascent to fame as a little food trailer that served up phenomenal food. If you've been to Austin, you'll know that we appreciate a good taco (especially the breakfast kind) so it's only a matter of time before you find your way into a Torchy's. The UT location is a short walk north of campus; you'll know it by the sign, which proudly proclaims "Damn Good." Try a Migas to see what they're all about and pair it with a more unique flavor like the Brushfire.

Hole in the Wall For live music, great local drinks and true Austin culture, head to Hole in the Wall, which recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. This bar has live music almost every night of the week and serves up plenty of drink specials to enhance the experience.

Kerbey Lane Cafe When it gets late and you've got a case of the munchies, make the trip to Kerbey Lane on Guadalupe. This 24-hour diner serves up breakfast all day (and night) and you can't go wrong with their famous Buttermilk Pancakes or Kerbey Queso. Gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options abound in this city and Kerbey's menu is full of tasty alternatives. *Local tip: Be on the lookout for Pumpkin Pancakes as fall arrives.

Get Your Gear

University Co-op The Co-op is a one-stop-shop for all of your burnt orange needs. Visitors can find everything from clothes to dishware to pet accessories and more in this three-story store. It is located right across the street from campus, so be sure to check it out after a campus tour or before a football game.

Malvern Books Located just north of campus, this independent bookstore specializes in literature and poetry from independent publishers. Explore the shop on your own or attend an event – poetry readings, open mic nights and author events are a great way to get a feel for the independent writing community in Austin.

Other nearby shopping includes Lo-Fi Vintage, Antone's Record Store, Wheatsville Co-Op, Breed & Company and more.

Ludvig Åberg earns runner-up finish in major championship debut at Masters

PGA TOUR University

Change Text Size

In his first appearance at a major championship, Ludvig Åberg captured a solo second finish at the Masters Tournament to earn his fourth top-10 and second runner-up finish of the 2024 season. The Texas Tech alum and No. 1 finisher in the 2023 PGA TOUR University Ranking fell four strokes short of world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who claimed his second green jacket on Sunday. Åberg’s impressive finish on the leaderboard will likely earn him an invitation into next year’s Masters, as is traditionally customary for the top-12 finishers to be invited back the following year.

A year ago, Åberg was competing in his final regular season event as a senior at Texas Tech – a season where he recorded four individual victories and swept the three national Player of the Year awards (Ben Hogan, Fred Haskins and Jack Nicklaus). Fast forward a year, and now the 24-year-old’s professional resume consists of victories at the 2023 RSM Classic and the DP World Tour’s 2023 Omega European Masters, five top-five finishes, a Ryder Cup victory and a solo second in his first-ever major appearance.

Ludvig Åberg captures first PGA TOUR win at The RSM Classic

Highlighting his success at Augusta National Golf Club was Åberg 3-under 69 in Friday’s second round. On a day that saw a 75.08 scoring average, the highest in a single round at the Masters since 2016, combined with gusts of up to 35 mph, Åberg posted the lowest second-round score to move inside the top 10 heading into the weekend.

In his first Masters Sunday, Åberg held a share of the lead in the final round after carding his third birdie of the day at No. 9 and became part of a three-way tie at 7-under, alongside Scottie Scheffler and Collin Morikawa. Scheffler went on to card four birdies on the back nine to finish atop the leaderboard. Åberg posted his third consecutive round under par on Sunday, becoming the first player to finish runner-up in his Masters Tournament debut since Will Zalatoris in 2021.

Fifteen PGA TOUR University alumni will compete in this week’s LECOM Suncoast Classic at Lakewood National Golf Club (April 18-21). Sam Bennett, Fred Biondi, Ricky Castillo, Sam Choi, William Mouw, Ross Steelman and Patrick Welch will make their tournament debuts, in addition to returning members Quade Cummins, Noah Goodwin, Cole Hammer, Logan McAllister, John Pak, Trent Phillips, Jackson Suber and Trevor Werbylo. McAllister is notably the top performer at the LECOM Suncoast Classic from past years, as he finished second in 2023 after falling in a playoff to Scott Gutschewski.

Ten alumni will be in the field for the third event of the Latin America Swing. The 69th ECP Brazil Open at the Rio Olympic Golf Course will feature Ryan Burnett, Ben Carr, Reid Davenport, Mateo Fernandez de Oliveira, Derek Hitchner, Tommy Kuhl, Chase Sienkiewicz, Yuxin Lin, Cameron Sisk and Travis Vick .

Hitchner, a Pepperdine alum, was one of the top contenders at the Totalplay Championship at Atlas Country Club two weeks ago. The 24-year-old was the playing partner of José de Jesús Rodríguez, who won at Atlas Country Club for the third time in his PGA TOUR-sanctioned career. Two late bogeys from Hitchner in the final round resulted in a third-place finish.

Lin leads the PGA TOUR University alumni at No. 6 in the Fortinet Cup Standings. The top 10 finishers in the points list at the end of the season will earn Korn Ferry Tour membership for the 2025 season, in addition to the top two finishers at the conclusion of the Latin America Swing earning conditional status.

5 things to know about Ludvig Aberg, one of the PGA Tour’s fastest rising new stars

Aberg, a texas tech product, has already won on tour and participated in a ryder cup..

By SportsDay Staff

10:17 AM on Apr 14, 2024 CDT — Updated at 9:28 PM on Apr 14, 2024 CDT

Since leaving Texas Tech to head to the pros, Ludvig Aberg has made an instant splash on the PGA Tour. Here are five things to know about one of the newest names in golf...

First major appearance

The Masters was the first major appearance of Aberg’s career. After going over par on Thursday (+1), the 24-year-old put together three solid rounds and finished second at 7-under behind Scottie Scheffler.

How he got here

After a pair of dominant seasons at Texas Tech , Aberg finished No. 1 in the 2023 PGA Tour University Ranking. The distinction earned the Eslov, Sweden native PGA Tour membership for the remainder of 2023 season as well as the 2024 season. He was also ranked as the world’s No. 1 amateur.

Texas Tech accolades

Aberg won just about every major award college golf had to offer.

As a senior, he swept the Jack Nicklaus Award, the Fred Haskins Award and the Ben Hogan Award. He joined John Rahm as the only player to repeat as the winner of the Ben Hogan Award.

He won a program-record eight times while at Texas Tech, and became the first golfer to win back-to-back Big 12 Conference Championship titles in both 2022 and 2023.

Ryder Cup participant

Putting a stamp on his rapid rise in the golf world , Aberg earned a spot on Europe’s Ryder Cup team last year just three months after turning professional.

First PGA Tour win

A few months later, Aberg added to his astonishing rookie season when he won the RSM Classic in Nov. 2023, his first PGA Tour title to go along with a European tour victory and a winning debut in the Ryder Cup .

Texas Tech Now

Newly hired rawls college leader founded the world poker tour.

April 19, 2024

Steve Lipscomb will use his expertise to expand the Alderson & Griffin Center for Family Business & Entrepreneurship as its executive director.

Steve Lipscomb wants his students at Texas Tech University 's Jerry S. Rawls College of Business to understand it's not often a business comes together according to plan. 

He knows success stories like that can seem unrealistic, but from his experience creating the World Poker Tour (WPT) in the early 2000s, it can happen – and fast. 

“The first three to five years played exactly as I had pitched to our investors,” Lipscomb recalled. “I told them we were going to make this into a televised sport and people were going to flock to it.”

Lipscomb remembers it was like riding a wave as he juggled the titles of CEO, promoter, writer, producer and director, determined to transform poker into a televised mainstream sport. As he gained his balance and began to enjoy the view, he became a huge believer in the art of doing – an endurance race he still enjoys today. 

Lipscomb will not only practice this work ethic, but also will strive to “create and iterate” as the newly hired executive director for the Alderson & Griffin Center for Family Business & Entrepreneurship . The center provides innovative networking opportunities, insightful educational forums and discussions, relevant academic programs and applied research to a wide range of entrepreneurs including emerging leaders, successors, senior generations, students and key nonfamily executives.

“The center is an important addition to the fertile ground we are seeding at Rawls and Texas Tech to encourage students, faculty and our community to help us build the futures we all desire,” said Rawls College Dean Margaret L. Williams . “We are excited to have Mr. Lipscomb join our exceptional faculty as an associate practice professor and look forward to benefiting from his years of experience building, advising and shaping successful public and private ventures.”

The Alderson & Griffin Center for Family Business & Entrepreneurship is strategically positioned at the intersection of corporate enterprise, entrepreneurial innovation and academic research. Lipscomb is “all in” to further elevate its collective creation, progress and understanding.

“I think nobody knows what you're capable of more than you do,” he said. “The center will be a place where people can discover what that means for them.”

Taking a Gamble

In Lipscomb's case, the more he was told the WPT would never work, the more he knew it would. 

There was a time when The New Yorker magazine even weighed in on the WPT phenomenon with a cartoon that jokingly questioned why poker was featured on the Travel Channel. Lipscomb shares in the same bewilderment about his own life path, having earned a Doctor of Jurisprudence from University of Chicago Law School with the intent to become a lawyer. 

While he enjoyed law school and thrived there, the Tennessee native found himself equally intrigued by the classes and performances he participated in at The Second City, a comedy club/theater and school of improvisation in Chicago. Post graduation, he moved to Los Angeles and quickly realized his law firm work was just a way to support his entertainment habit. 

“It was pretty clear in my mind that I was headed do some sort of crazy showbiz stuff,” he said. 

His first film venture was a documentary chronicling changes in the Southern Baptist Convention and its impact on women pastors. The film performed well at festivals, won numerous awards and garnered the attention of Hollywood producers and screenwriters like Al Burton and Norman Lear. 

That opened the door for Lipscomb to begin producing television with them and others. While on hiatus from producing a show for Comedy Central, Lipscomb had the opportunity to produce and direct a one-hour documentary about poker to air on the Discovery Channel. He accepted and quickly became intrigued about the poker world. 

“I witnessed this remarkable, but very small community of people playing poker for a living,” Lipscomb said. “When that one-hour documentary aired, it doubled its audience in an hour with no promotion. Very clearly, there was an audience who wanted to watch poker.”

Lipscomb pitched “poker as a sport” to every network he could find focused on sports or reality programming but was turned down flat. 

“They thought I was nuts,” he recalled, “which turned out to be the best “bad beat” of my life. When they said ‘no,' I quickly managed to raise money and launched the World Poker Tour as the first poker sports league on the planet.”

At first, it was a challenge for Lipscomb to figure out how to make a card game appear exciting and digestible to viewers who are not poker aficionados. He described this trial-and-error process as a post-production tangled mess that took eight months to unravel. 

The solution involved 16 cameras with angles that showed the cards not too little or too much, paired with custom-built graphics that popped out when players looked at their cards and disappeared when they folded. This enabled viewers to comprehend the game even while on mute or in a bar.  

“We did testing in Las Vegas that helped the network understand people were not just interested in fluffy pieces about casinos,” Lipscomb explained. “They wanted to watch the poker.”

Sure enough, once the WPT began airing in 2003, all doubts about Lipscomb's creation were crushed by numbers. Almost immediately on the Travel Channel, they had a household rating of 1.5-2% – comparable to National Basketball Association games at the time. 

Publications such as the Wall Street Journal and Inc. Magazine featured Lipscomb and his WPT success story on their front pages and covers as the show continued to skyrocket in popularity. 

Just one year later, Lipscomb and his executive team looked up in awe at the Nasdaq billboard in Times Square after ringing the bell to take WPT Enterprises, Inc. public. From that point forward, he progressively removed many of his early WPT hats, one by one, to focus on the company's growth as its president and CEO.

“The world changed and I sort of found what I would call ‘my jam,' which was the excitement of building something from nothing and scaling every vertical we could find,” he said, “from consumer products to electronic video games and other categories.”

No Bluff Business

Looking back, Lipscomb considers the WPT as his business school of sorts as he worked to transform a television show into a global sports/gaming brand.

“We had an incredible team that didn't say ‘no' a lot,” he credited. “We found ways to say ‘yes' to build things that worked, and when they didn't work, we got better and better at moving on quickly.”

He and his teammates created award-winning consumer products, marketing partnerships and brand-building verticals; while, at the same time, seeding and launching numerous businesses, including the world's first poker talent management company, the first televised card tour in China's history and a popular mobile phone game. 

By 2009, Lipscomb was approached by multiple companies interested in purchasing the WPT. After carefully analyzing the hand in front of them, he and the board decided it was time to cash in those chips. 

“The acquirer was an online gaming group in the market segment that was making most of the money at the time,” he said. “I was not interested in staying onboard, so I walked off into the sunset to find the next thing.”

After his WPT chapter closed, Lipscomb felt empowered by the business knowledge he absorbed from the experience. He remained CEO of the publicly traded shell company and merged it to expand an existing energy company, quadrupling the stock price. He then became CEO of the spinoff company to oversee a private placement memorandum and the monetization of leftover WPT assets, which produced more than $25 million for the new company to deploy in the domestic oil and gas industry.

“Once I handed off management of the two spinoff public companies, I blissfully worked myself out of a job,” he said. “I planned to spend the rest of my time trying to help people build stuff to make the world a better place.”

Lipscomb formed Practicrats, LLC to chase this passion by working with corporations, sports leagues and foundations to build businesses. He is founder/board chair of Gamers.Vote which partners with gamers, influencers and companies to encourage voter participation, as well as GamersAct.org, inspiring gamers to address climate change. He also spent a decade as managing director of FixItAmerica.org which supported bi-partisan resolutions in state legislatures. 

As part of those initiatives, he attended the EarthX conference in Dallas last year where a government official inspired him and other private enterprises to aim toward a more sustainable future. 

“I walked away from there thinking I needed to find a way to do more,” he admitted.

A few conversations later, he learned about the job posting for the Alderson & Griffin Center for Family Business & Entrepreneurship and felt what he describes as a “Star Wars” tractor beam drawing him to the position. 

He is convinced the work being done at Texas Tech can change the world, and this belief only strengthened after his visit to campus. 

“The sort of visionary people like Dean Williams and the leadership at Texas Tech pulled me in,” he said. “I think we have lofty goals, and I say ‘we' because I feel like nothing gets done by an individual. It's always done with people, so to join that community and find a way to try to help it grow and flourish is exciting to me.”

Lipscomb officially began his Rawls College role April 11. He plans to teach one class a semester beginning in the fall, but the Alderson & Griffin Center for Family Business & Entrepreneurship activities will begin immediately and include the ongoing McCoy Family Business Speaker Series .  

“There are great minds here and great things happening,” he said. “I think there's never been a better time, with all of the resources around us, for people to join together and do amazing things. That's what this opportunity means to me.”

Lipscomb laughs as he discloses he would have never imagined jumping up and down to participate in a business school program a year ago. But he says that is the beauty of his remarkably blessed and wonderful journey. 

“I find in life it's always better to pick a path and start walking,” he shared. “If you had told me when I made my first social issue documentary about religious faith that I was going to be the poker guy, I would have told you that was crazy. But that's the way life works, I think. 

“And I certainly encourage everyone around me to do the same. So, if you have something in you that just won't be quiet – something you feel like you need to build – please come and join us.”

There's something about this place

Where we are says a lot about who we are. Our 295-acre campus is smack-dab in the middle of some of the most beautiful places to be outside anywhere. We jog in the morning, bike to school, and roll along 13th Avenue to meet friends. We ski down mountains, float down rivers, and play along the beaches on the weekends. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel right at home. This place feels familiar, green, and friendly, but also modern, totally connected, and cosmopolitan. It’s kind of perfect—an extraordinary academic community surrounded by a quintessential college town. It’s alive with music, culture, food, art, and just the right amount of weird to keep things interesting.
