Matthew McConaughey is making sure some college students at his alma mater get home all right, all right, all right.
The Oscar winner took a turn behind the wheel of a golf cart on the University of Texas campus Monday night to raise awareness about a program to ensure students don't have to walk home alone.
The university's student government posted a video showing students' delighted reaction to seeing the actor pull up. McConaughey also took time out to pose for selfies on campus.

McConaughey is a 1993 Texas graduate and lives in Austin.
