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.
Shahrzad Amirani
The gift of education
“Because of my experience at UT Arlington and how it changed my life, I promised myself that some day I would give back by creating educational opportunities for other women in similar conditions.”
Kytai Nguyen
Right on target
“When I do health-related research, I always ask if we can mimic natural healings. If the body wants to do it that way, take advantage of it.”
Michael Choice
Big-league skills
“I just want to concentrate on doing all the little things right, and the big things will take care of themselves. I want to play with that mindset.”
Robert Magnusson
Illuminating discovery
“There is a new paradigm on campuses all over the world. It involves entrepreneurship in addition to teaching, research and service.”
Peggy Hensley
Health care hero
“People want to feel they’re paid attention to, listened to. Sometimes you have patients with mental health issues. If you just take a half hour and listen to them, that’s all they need.”
