Past Events

The LBJ School of Public Affairs is postponing one of its LBJ 50th Anniversary Forums, Genius for Good, previously scheduled for March 11, until mid-September 2020.

Classes begin for the spring semester of the 2019–20 academic year. Welcome back!

Over the Holiday Break—Dec. 23, 2019 until Jan. 3, 2020—The University of Texas and the LBJ School of Public Affairs will be officially closed.

The Great Financial Crisis of 2007–08 has cast a long shadow on the economic and political realities we confront today, as did the Great Depression of the 1930s on the decades that followed. These economic earthquakes also upended the conventional economic thinking, particularly in the realm of macroeconomics. This event presents four new books that address various aspects of macroeconomic theory and policymaking.

LBJ School students and alumni are invited to join the LBJ Washington Center to watch the 2019 Democratic Presidential Primary Debate.

Register for the LBJ School's biggest admissions event of the year! The LBJ Open House will take place on campus Nov. 14–15, 2019. This is your chance to meet the school leadership, faculty, current students and alumni, and to hear about the great opportunities offered to LBJ students. We hope you're able to join us in Austin!
