STUDENTS OF MOODY "I am lucky enough to be an ULA, which is a University Learning Assistant here in the Moody College. I am able to work with a professor who I've grown really close with, I consider her to be one of my mentors, and about 80 students per class. We are teaching a Communication and Leadership class and it carries an ethics course requirement so I get to dabble in leadership theory, ethics theories, and philosophy even all throughout this one course thanks to Moody and I get paid to do it which is great. I want to go to law school so this is a great stepping stone to achieve that in the future."

- Jamese Branch, RTF senior “The biggest thing I have learned since I entered Moody is that communication in general is just such an essential to almost every aspect of life. And because of that an education that breaks down all the nuances of communication is personally relevant. A professor’s commitment to learning through their research and their dedication to teaching is something that really inspires me to increase the time and energy I spend on the curriculum. They motivate me to do better.”

- Wyatt Robb, Corporate Communication sophomore

“It can all be boiled down to just having the courage to step outside of your comfort zone. It’s hard at first, but Moody has so much to offer if you seek it out. I’m not exactly sure about my future, but I know that the things I’m learning from my peers, professors and classes within Moody will prepare me for what to expect in the advertising industry. I chose Moody because the advertising programs is one of the best in the country. I’m currently taking Intro to Creative and I’m hoping to eventually get into the creative sequence.”

- Maria Johnson, Advertising junior

I came to UT because I wanted to be a broadcast journalist. I wanted to do entertainment news. I knew Moody was an amazing school for that. Being taught by professors at Moody that know what they’re talking about and are experienced professionals that know the field they are teaching so well is a huge advantage. My peers have all influenced me because I feel like everyone at UT is so ambitious. When I see my peers doing things, getting internships, accomplishing big things. That pushes me and motivates me even more.

- Julie Garcia, Journalism senior
