Students also have the opportunity to participate in on-campus college preview days and other cultural enrichment activities.

Students from Longhorn Opportunity Scholarship (LOS) schools can participate in these workshops, but must register through UT Outreach.    Examples of  topics include writing the college essay, seeking scholarships, and college shopping.  Professionals with extensive experience will lead many of these sessions.

Longhorn Mentors

As a part of the LPCA, UT Outreach – Dallas recruits alumni to serve as positive role models who can help students improve their attitude toward education and develop enthusiasm for learning.  Longhorn Mentors participate in group luncheons with students on the LPCA campuses.  Each luncheon focuses on a specific college readiness theme.
