The Texas Institute is a fast-paced, four-day exploration of Texas politics and the American Presidency. Here is your chance to interact with political movers and shakers at the national, state and local levels

At the State Capitol in Austin, you will spend two days speaking to leaders who shape Texas policy.  Recent Symposium speakers have included officials from the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government, members of the press and state lobbyists. 

You will also spend two days analyzing the American Presidency by questioning experts at the presidential libraries of Lyndon Baines Johnson at UT Austin and George H.W. Bush at Texas A&M.  What legacies did LBJ and George H.W. Bush leave to the American people? This question and others will push you to examine your political values and expectations.
