Matthew McConaughey Signs on
as Professor at University of Texas.
The University of Texas recently announced
their hiring of Matthew McConaughey to
the Moody College of Communication.

role as a professor this coming fall.

been appointed a professor of practice due to
his “outstanding work as a teacher and mentor.” .
Matthew cares deeply for our school and
our students, and we are thrilled that he shares
his time and talent to help prepare the next
generation of media leaders and innovators, Moody College Dean Jay Bernhardt, to UT News.
McConaughey, who graduated from the school
himself in 1993, has been serving as a visiting
instructor at the University of Texas since 2015.

a film production class called “Script to Screen.” .
Working in the classroom with these students
gives me a chance to prepare them. Making
movies, turning words on paper into film,
is both a science and art – no matter the
time or generation, Matthew McConaughey, to UT News
