Activities Fair
Get involved! The Activities Fair is a great opportunity for you to learn about what UT Arlington has to offer! Your closest friends in college are often times the ones you make in the residence halls and in organizations, clubs, intramural sports and fraternities or sororities. This annual event is the perfect chance for you to visit with these groups, make connections, and get involved early!
