About the Office

Facilitating Lifelong Engagement

The Office of Development and Alumni Relations maximizes support for UT Dallas through collaboration with the development programs of schools, colleges and units.

We also provide fundraising leadership through the facilitation of relationships with our colleagues, alumni, friends, foundations and corporations.

The philanthropic gifts UT Dallas receives from alumni, friends, and institutional partners enables the University to attract and retain faculty, recruit and support students, and enhance programs and departments that make significant contributions to the region and to society as a whole.

Our gift officers work hand-in-hand with University partners to ensure donors’ interests are matched with campus needs for a mutually beneficial partnership. These partnerships not only support UT Dallas, but also help advance our donors’ philanthropic goals.

Thank you for your interest in and support of UT Dallas.
