Did You Know…

For your event, you can also request UT Dallas’ Student Ambassadors to engage with guests and initiate positive dialogue about the University. Additionally, ambassadors will assist event coordinators in tasks such as helping with registration, welcoming guests, and introducing featured speakers.
