A message from the Interim Dean
Dear Moody College friends,
To say that the past year at Moody has been exciting is an understatement. We’ve welcomed new faculty, unveiled new academic programming, celebrated several outstanding milestones and so much more. While these achievements are thrilling on their own, I’m most proud of what each of them means for our students — that they have the greatest opportunities to learn from the best and be as prepared as possible for their future careers.
Moody College has always focused on providing University of Texas students with foundational learning along with immersive and experiential opportunities that put their knowledge into practice. We fully believe in the importance of offering students a strong theoretical, historical and contextual basis for what they learn, in addition to the hands-on practical skills they need to succeed.
I’m confident that we’ve built on those principles over the past year, and we will continue to do so, meeting the interests of our students and advances in technology. Strong communication skills will always be in demand, and Moody is uniquely positioned for the future.
As you read this year’s Impact Report, you’ll see exactly what I mean. We’ve launched a new minor in sports broadcasting and production and opened the Karch Gaming Institute. Our faculty are conducting groundbreaking research, and transformational gifts ensure that we can keep building on an already strong foundation.
To that end, our student success stories continue to inspire. In Fall 2025, we welcomed our largest incoming class ever. This speaks volumes to the importance and excitement surrounding our programs. Perhaps most impressive, over 82% of students who begin their studies at Moody graduate within four years. This is the second-highest graduation rate at UT Austin. A staggering 70% of those graduates report being employed or in graduate school within six months.
These successes aren’t ours alone; they’re yours, too, as a valued Moody College supporter. We pride ourselves on the many ways our faculty and staff go above and beyond to support and mentor our students, but we wouldn’t be able to provide such assistance without your backing. I’m grateful to each of you for supporting Moody.
It’s been a joy for me as interim dean to experience the growth and landmarks of the past year and to brainstorm new frontiers for the college while witnessing the achievements of our exceptional students. The future is bright for Moody College, and we are ready for whatever comes next!
With best wishes and hook ’em,
Anita Vangelisti

Careful of the traffic!
Here's the entire big picture!
More voices. One space.
Three ways to bring people and stories into the same footprint. Compare a continuous ribbon, a changing grid, and a rotating three-face card.
Design prototype. All six quotes below are fictional sample copy, not real testimonials. Photos are illustrative and do not identify the fictional speakers. Motion pauses while you hover, focus a control, or leave the page. Use the pause buttons to keep it still.
A continuous conversation
A steady ribbon for a larger collection. Add as many items as needed; the loop measures its own content rather than assuming a fixed card count.
A grid that changes its mind
Three slots, six sample voices. One randomly selected slot turns at a time, without repeating the same slot back-to-back.
Three stories, one slot
A restrained barrel rotation turns three faces through each slot. The same content can rotate automatically or advance one step at a time.

Student experience
“The first time I shared my work, someone asked a question I hadn’t thought to ask myself.”
Creative practice
“A small team, a borrowed camera, and an idea worth following. That was enough to get started.”
Research
“Listening carefully changed the direction of the project—and the questions we asked next.”
Community
“I found collaborators who cared about the same problem, but saw it from a different angle.”
Alumni perspective
“The most useful lesson was learning to explain an idea clearly enough that someone else could build on it.”
Learning together
“We tested the idea, changed our minds, and tried again. The conversation mattered as much as the final piece.”
