Say, sign up for McConaughey's class yet? It'd be a lot cooler if you did

The academy-award winning actor will return to the 40 acres this fall after teaching a class at the Moody School of Communication last school year, according to UT representatives.

Say, University of Texas students, you register for Matthew McConaughey’s class this fall?

No? It’d be a lot cooler if you did.

The academy-award winning actor will return to the 40 acres this fall after teaching a class with director Gary Ross at the Moody School of Communication last school year, according to UT representatives.

Last year, 30 students at the Moody School went behind the scenes of McConaughey’s new film Free State of Jones. Ross directed the picture, along with 2012's The Hunger Games.

“They got hands on experience and learned industry ins and outs,” UT said in the announcement.

UT made the announcement on its Facebook page Thursday morning:
