2025 Annual Report
UL Internship Program
Fiscal year 2025 marked the continued growth of University Lands (UL)’s expanded internship program, designed to engage students across a diverse range of business and technical areas that support the management of the Permanent University Fund (PUF) Lands. During the summer, seven interns joined UL, gaining hands-on expe- rience in areas including emerging energy, oil & gas accounting, information tech- nology, and business analytics. Interns represented multiple universities across the University of Texas System, reflecting the academic diversity of the program. UL’s internship program continued its participation in the University of Texas System Internship Program, providing interns with a comprehensive experience that included mentorship from UL and UT System professionals, professional development oppor- tunities, networking with UT System leadership, and collaboration with peers from across the System. The program culminated in a systemwide intern summit focused on shared learning and connection. A highlight of the program was a two-day field visit to the Permian Basin, where interns traveled to Midland for an immersive learning experience. The visit included a tour of a data center operation, wind and solar site visits, a visit to the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum, time at UL’s Midland office, and opportunities to engage with UL staff working in the region. The internship experience concluded with formal presentations delivered by each intern, showcasing the projects they supported and the contributions they made throughout the summer. Through this program, UL continues to prioritize the devel- opment of future professionals while strengthening the connection between the PUF Lands and the institutions they support.
