The UTLA experience expands beyond one semester, as UTLA alumni play a pivotal role in the student experience as part of the alumni community. UTLA alumni are invited to Los Angeles-based student events, may provide or receive mentorship, and offer vital connectivity to internship opportunities.

Do you remember how valuable it was to get your foot in the door in the entertainment industry as an intern? If you want to see Longhorns in your place of work and are interested in helping hire UTLA interns learn more about UTLA students working at LA based internships.

Host a Workplace Visit

Alumni, parents and friends play a pivotal role in enhancing the UTLA student experience. If you would like to take UTLA students on a tour of your office (size of group flexible), invite them on set, do a screening and talkback, or more, please indicate your interest on the volunteer interest form, or contact Mira Lippold-Johnson.
