    A Message from the Associate Dean for Research

    Dear Alumni,

    I am pleased to extend a warm welcome to each of you to join our first ever UTA College of Business PhD Alumni Celebration & Symposium Event. Near or far, every alum who shows up makes this gathering what it is. I'm really hoping you can make it!

    This event is about more than memories of the past; it’s about celebrating the journey we’ve all taken since we last met at UTA. I have so many positive memories of many of you from your time in my Experimental Design and/or Multivariate Statistics classes. I am so looking forward to learning about the great things you have done since graduation, hearing your unique stories, and celebrating your achievements!

    In addition to reconnecting with each other, you have so much knowledge and experience to share with our current PhD students, who are excited to meet you!

    Can’t wait to see you on March 28th! This is what being a COB PhD Maverick is all about — great people, great connections, and inspiring the next generation of PhD students to make their own mark!

    Once again, welcome home to UTA!

    Warm regards,
    Wendy Casper
