Our first-ever event at the Dallas Zoo was a huge success as Mavericks of all ages enjoyed UTA Day at the Zoo! Thanks to everyone who participated and reminded us how we can all influence the next generation of UTA faithful. We are thrilled to be building a lasting UTA alumni community. We hope to see you in a few weeks at Homecoming 2017 and the Distinguished Alumni Awards!

Sincerely,
