Denise Hayes is celebrating 13 years at UTA and is the Assistant Director of Undergraduate Advising. The three things she loves most about her job are meeting students at orientation, completing a graduation audit knowing some of the obstacles they overcame to get there, and seeing students walk across the stage at commencement. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling with her husband and pups, camping, boating, and going to the theater.
