The highlight of the University’s yearlong celebration brought students, faculty, and staff together in Brazos Park for cupcakes, ice cream, and a peek into UTA’s storied history that has built it into the community pillar it is today. Read the press release.
At the Birthday Bash, we invited the community to share a message for future Mavericks to read when they open the time capsule. We also collected items that represent UTA in its 130th year such as the first UTA West community newsletter, a mini football symbolizing the anticipated launch of the women's flag football program, the anniversary edition of UTA Magazine, sheet music of UTA's new fight song, and more.
A new permanent exhibit in UTA's Central Library showcases our University's rich history and excellence over the last 130 years, with sections for UTA's founding, leadership, evolution, and spirit.
We created a very special issue of UTA Magazine to celebrate our 130th anniversary. Read about UTA's history, enjoy Mav memories, and take a trip through the photo archives.
We got to know Mavericks from all generations in 130 seconds.
