It is that great time of year again…Spring, flowers, The Kentucky Derby and graduation! To me it is the most colorful and festive time of the year. For our new UT graduates, it is the celebration of a major accomplishment in their lives. I congratulate each and every one of our new Rocket Alumni.

But our job is not really done until they have a job that allows them to use their diverse talents in an effective and rewarding manner. In essence, to head or continue down the path of a fulfilled and happy life.

So it is in that spirit that the Division of External Affairs reached out to our UT family and the community to put together an online tool to help people prepare for that next step in their career and life.  Please take a look and let me know what you think…it is an ongoing and dynamic tool that can be improved and become more inclusive with time.

Thanks to my colleagues in Marketing, Communications and The Center for Creative Instruction.  Also, a special thanks to our Career Services folks who guide and assist students and alumni everyday of the year.  And, thanks to our community members you have added their valuable insight as well.

Happy Spring!  Go Rockets.

Regards,  Larry.
