PROGRAMS
Take a look at some of the programs that the Austin Institute offers to the University of Texas Undergraduate and Graduate students and to the Austin community in general.
UNDERGRADUATE FELLOWS PROGRAM
The Undergraduate Fellows Program at the Austin Institute accompanies undergraduate students at the University of Texas at Austin in their development and growth as fully-formed adults. Our program is designed for non-conforming students who want to ask bigger questions—students who know there should be more to college than preparing for a job and more to life than work and screen time.
ENGAGING ORTHODOXY
The Austin Institute and the Salem Center for Policy at the University of Texas at Austin have come together to bring you Engaging Orthodoxy, a speaker series that brings in scholars from across the country to speak on the implications of their research on policy.
The program was founded by our own Professor Mark Regnerus.
THE GOOD LIFE READING GROUP
We read contemporary to ancient texts, face hard questions, and have deep conversations on what it means to live a good life.
On occasion, we will have nationally acclaimed authors make an appearance!
You are welcome to invite your friends and your significant other to come!
ROAD TO INTEGRITY
The Road to Integrity is an organized reading and discussion group with occasional guest speakers, open to men, ages 19-35.
In a culture that presents masculinity as increasingly difficult to describe, comprehend, and live out, the program aims to dive deep into the nature of manhood in order to understand its treasures and challenges. Through thoughtful and fraternal discussion, the group seeks to equip young men to navigate the complexities of manhood with wisdom, courage, and virtue.
QUEST FOR FEMININITY
Being a woman has never been easy. Decades of ideological movements have attempted to de-feminize women. This has caused an inner conflict for women, resulting in the loss of their true essence and a dangerous lack of self-awareness.
We would love to have you!
HIGH SCHOOL
SUMMER SEMINARS
What does it mean to be human? This question is more important than ever in our frenzied age of materialism, unbridled technological advancement, and moral upheaval.
High school students who have finished their sophomore or junior years are invited to participate in a highly-interactive, week-long seminar that plumbs the depths of the human person.
