We've all had professors, teachers, or mentors that we've really loved in our lives that we thought deserved to win awards for their work, but if asked to name WHICH awards, we probably wouldn't say "an Oscar."
Students at the University of Texas might have a different story.
As someone who graduated from a very similar program, I can say that I've had some cool professors, but never one as cool as Matthew McConaughey. Sorry to any of my old professors reading this.
Since graduating, he's more than put his degree to use, starring in over 50 films, like The Wolf of Wall Street, Dallas Buyers' Club, Failure To Launch, and Dazed and Confused.
The University said in a statement that his appointment as a professor recognizes "his outstanding work as a teacher and as a mentor," while his "willingness to work with students beyond the classroom" is respected.
He also developed the curriculum for the course, so you know he's taking this professor gig seriously. I'd expect nothing less from an Academy Award winning Best Actor!
Brb, just gonna quickly sign up for some classes at the University of Texas. Well, one class in particular.
