UCC Student Groups
Catholic Law Students Association
The mission of the Catholic Law Students Association (CLSA) is to allow law students to gather for personal development and conscious formation of their Catholic identity. CLSA gives individuals opportunities to participate in a faithful community, reflect on peace and justice issues, explore Catholic teaching and tradition, and engage in community service.
Catholic Longhorns for Life
Catholic Longhorns for Life (CLFL) supports the pro-life cause through prayer, volunteering, activism, and education. Issues we discuss include: in-vitro fertilization, natural family planning, euthanasia, stem cell research, the death penalty, and abortion.
During our meetings, held Mondays from 8-9 p.m. at the UT Catholic Center, we learn about pro-life topics, bring in speakers, discuss volunteering and educational opportunities, and pray for a conversion of the hearts of those who do not fully understand God's most precious gift—the gift of life.
Please contact us at clfl@utcatholic.org for more information on our meetings and other events.

University Graduates and Profesionals (UGAP)
As a group of recently graduated young adults and graduate students we bond together to help grow in our Catholic Faith though Spiritual Growth, Catholic Fellowship and Community Service in a manner that does not hinder our other responsibilities as young adults. We do a variety of activities (we try to mix things up) that include bowling, movie and game nights, rosary, working at a local food pantry, bible study, and discussions with priests and other religious people. Oh yea, we also really like to eat. Our weekly meetings are on Tuesdays at 7pm but we sometimes get together for other events. For more information contact their leadership team at ugap@utcatholic.org or visit their website.
