Matthew McConaughey gives students rides to make sure they get home alright, alright, alright

The McConaissance is multi-pronged.

The McConnaissance is not over -- it is only just beginning.

Like any great multi-disciplinary artist, Matthew McConaughey is always mastering new skills, like driving golf carts. The Academy Award winning actor and accomplished chill dude headed back to his alma mater, the University of Texas, to give students safe rides home at night over the weekend.

The SURE Walk program at University of Texas gives students free rides from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m and it looks like Mr. Time-is-a-flat-circle wants to help out.

McConaughey graduated from the school back in 1993 and recently signed on to teach a film class there, so he knows his way around Austin and does not drive around dazed and confused.
