Longhorn Communicators Network
Connect. Learn. Grow.
The Longhorn Communicators Network brings together The University of Texas at Austin’s communicators, marketers and creative professionals to share ideas and grow together. We’re building a space where campus storytellers of all types can connect, collaborate and learn from each other while elevating their craft and amplifying the Longhorn brand. From seasoned pros to rising talents, everyone has something valuable to contribute and discover.
