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.
Josh Sawyer
Building schools, building dreams
“This was a great opportunity for us to reach out to the global community and provide the most important gift to children—an education.”
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.”
Ninad Thakoor
Helping the Blind See
“The IntelligentEyes system won’t replace the cane. It would be an additional source of important information for a blind or visually impaired user, information on things beyond the length of the cane.”
Robyn Cox
Diving in
“You must keep in mind that you’re working with animals. You can’t be 100 percent sure that they’re going to do what you ask them to do.”
Sedrick Huckaby
Patchworks of history
“Quilts are like the African-American woman’s jazz. When the women sat together making quilts, it was like a jam session.”
