Save the Dates: Fall Events
By: Jeff Joiner | August 9, 2023
Fall is a great time for campus events or to give to worthwhile causes or your University. From celebrating soon-to-be graduates at the fall UT Dallas Ring Ceremony to supporting organizations you believe in – including UTD – on North Texas Giving Days, these upcoming events will keep you connected to your Comet family.
Sept. 10 – UT Dallas Night: FC Dallas
Join your fellow Comet alumni and friends at Toyota Stadium for the annual UT Dallas night at a FC Dallas professional soccer game.
Sept. 21 – North Texas Giving Day
On North Texas Giving Day, UT Dallas alumni can donate to benefit generations of Comets and the Dallas-Fort Worth community. This annual online event makes giving back simple with the ability to schedule your gift to your alma mater as well as other North Texas nonprofits.
Sept. 28 – Bass School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology Naming Celebration
Join a campus-wide celebration as UT Dallas recognizes the $40 million gift from the Harry W. Bass Jr. Foundation that made possible the naming of the Bass School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology.
Oct. 9 & 10 – UT Dallas Ring Days with Balfour
It’s never too late to get your UT Dallas ring. While you can purchase your ring at any time throughout the year on the Balfour website, Ring Days with Balfour is a great way to get more information and select a ring that best represents your time at UT Dallas. You can view different ring styles in person at the Student Union and have your preferred finger measured to ensure the perfect fit.
Dec. 4 – Temoc Sock Day
Nothing says Comet pride quite like a pair of socks featuring your favorite mascot’s face. And what better way to display them than on National Sock Day? Show your love for Temoc and UT Dallas on this annual holiday by purchasing a pair of Temoc socks. Every pair of Temoc socks purchased is a donation and gives back to the University in a meaningful way.
Dec. 7 – UT Dallas Ring Ceremony
After you’ve ordered your UT Dallas ring, you can join other recipients in a UT Dallas tradition at the annual Ring Ceremony. Once you’ve accepted your ring at the event, you can take part in the ceremonial ring dunk in the reflecting pools on campus. No matter when you graduated, alumni are always invited back to participate in the Ring Ceremony if they’ve purchased a class ring.
Dec. 9 – Santa Sighting at the Davidson-Gundy Alumni Center
Bring your family, friends and fur babies to take photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus, participate in holiday activities and enjoy cookies and hot chocolate at the Davidson-Gundy Alumni Center. Photos will be available online following the event.
Dec. 18-20 – Fall Commencement Activities
Join thousands of graduates, family members, alumni and friends for UT Dallas graduation ceremonies held throughout campus.
