Be A Maverick. The University of Texas at Arlington
Bright minds and distinctive personalities thrive at UT Arlington. Why? Because people here are free to be themselves — not just in name, but in their very nature. They’re inquisitive, creative, determined and innovative. They’re mavericks. Below are a few mavericks — students, alumni, faculty and staff — whose profiles have been featured on the UT Arlington home page.
Donald Bobbitt
Leader, scholar and researcher
“UT Arlington has made dramatic progress in expanding its research and scholarship profile over the past several years. I believe this is critically important in solidifying our national reputation.”
Dave Owen
Dugout confidante
The first of seven Mavericks to play in the major leagues, Dave Owen is now the bench coach for the Kansas City Royals, managed by alumnus Trey Hillman (‘91 BA).
Sedrick Huckaby
Patchworks of history
“Quilts are like the African-American woman’s jazz. When the women sat together making quilts, it was like a jam session.”
Wajiha Rizvi
Campaign contributions
“Her dedication to learning was contagious. The other students couldn’t help being influenced by her quiet leadership.”
Pat and Mike O'Neill
Investing in discovery
“The mission of the University centers on intellectual discovery. The library is where all members of the University community can go for those discoveries.”
