welcome address
There is so much to be optimistic about in America today, but our nation continues to face real challenges.
To confront them, we need to inspire courageous leaders, and usher in open dialogue that addresses reality head on – this starts with how we educate our ambitious young people. We need a generation of heroes, rather than a generation of virtue-signaling managerialists. How do we inspire them to work on the biggest problems — those that others ignore, or are intimidated to tackle — with humility and reason?
Educating the next generation of leaders is one of the most important ways we can be spending our time. The quality of students that UATX has been admitting to our seminars and events is exceptional — we're confident you are going to want to build relationships with these emerging leaders.

In joining the Talent Network, you are boldly standing up as an ally and also providing opportunities to rising leaders who can intern and collaborate alongside you. We are pursuing the most gifted high school students to join us at UATX, so having the ability to connect with leaders like yourself is paramount.
Thank you in advance for your consideration — we have an amazing team at UATX that includes leading academics and innovators, and the project has extraordinary momentum. We're going to provide an unparalleled undergraduate experience to our students — and know that they will in turn, help us build the world we all want to see.
