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.

Right on target
