Ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of the best undergraduate and graduate programs in the nation, UTA's College of Engineering announced the appointment of Peter E. Crouch as the new dean. Dr. Crouch will lead the College into a new era of enhanced community and industry relationships intended to develop the next generation of highly skilled workers. He comes to UTA as the former dean of engineering at the University of Hawai'i at Mãnoa and, prior to that, as the former dean of Arizona State University's Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering. |

The adage that there is strength in numbers is certainly true when you consider the collective total of UTA alumni-more than 210,000 strong and growing every semester! UTA Development and Alumni Relations is challenging alumni from the last 10 graduating classes to give $10 toward a new scholarship in the first-ever alumni participation challenge. Everyone who donates will receive a UTA Alumni car decal, and the grad class with the highest participation will be invited to an exclusive event with President Karbhari. |
