Ways to Get Involved on The Forty Acres

Fall is in the air, and the start of a new year brings new opportunities to get involved around campus. Perhaps you missed the chance last year to join a certain organization or fitness initiative. If you’re a freshman… that’s a different story! 

We know this time of year is overwhelming. Here are some shortcuts to finding your niche on campus.

The recently updated Organizations directory alphabetically lists all the orgs at UT. You can search using key words or simply browse the list to get an idea of all that is offered. You will find information regarding everything from first meetings to welcome parties. Along with that, the Events page lists some of the events happening around campus. Be sure to periodically check it out for updates! 

This week on Wednesday, September 3rd, Party On The Plaza is a great time to interact with organizations as well as check out the opportunities offered at Gregory and at UT RecSports. You can also stop by the Her Campus Texas booth while you’re there! The on-campus gyms offer many Fitness and Wellness classes as well as Intramurals. 

While UT may feel exponential in size, there is a place for everyone. Remember to look out for each other and to empower one another as the year comes to a start. Welcome back!
