Exhibit: Making Mavericks: Expanding Horizons at UT Arlington
(Arts & Culture - UT Arlington and Community)
From the time of its inception, UT Arlington has had a relationship with the city of Arlington and its leaders. In 1895 Edward Rankin, in an effort to improve education in Arlington, approached Lee Hammond and William Trimble about starting a private school. Investors soon lined up, and thus began Arlington College. With seventy-five students and one two-story wood frame building built where University Center now stands, the college embarked on a journey of campus improvement and student enrichment. From a graduating class of eight young men, to a diverse student body of 33,239, UT Arlington has grown well beyond what its founders early conceived.
--Making Mavericks: Expanding horizons at UT Arlington explores the growth and development of the University under its various presidents.
--Making Mavericks: Expanding horizons at UT Arlington is located in Special Collections, 6th floor, UT Arlington Central Library and runs through April 27, 2013. Hours are 9am-7pm Monday and 9am-5pm Tuesday through Saturday. This exhibit is free and open to the public. For more information call 817-272-3393.
