Letter of congratulations of Texas University for Aldo Moraes

Dear Aldo Moraes,

On behalf of all students at The University of Texas at Austin, I just want to say thanks to all of the alumni, parents, and friends who make our education possible at UT.

Did you know that tuition and fees make up only 25% of the UT budget? If UT Austin operated on tuition and fees alone, classes would end by Nov. 16. The rest of the year our education is paid for by state funding and other sources, including gifts. So that's why Nov. 16 has been set aside as Thanks Day, a new Longhorn tradition that celebrates the alumni, family, and friends who help make a UT education possible for students like me.

I hope you will take a few minutes to watch the video from this year's Thanks Day event.

We can't thank you enough.

Hook 'Em!
