Celebrating 130 years, UTA Office of the President, Jennifer Cowley, Ph.D.

Thursday, January 30, 2025

Dear Mavericks,

Today, Jan. 30—1-30, get it?—is the perfect day to begin our yearlong celebration of UTA’s 130th anniversary. It’s a milestone year for UTA, one that will be filled with growth, progress, and festivities.

You can’t tell the story of Texas without UT Arlington; we are integral to the success of our state. So we’re going to spend the next year sharing stories that will make you proud to be a Maverick, helping you and our community learn about the role this institution has played in shaping our past and forging our future.

The first of our special events is tonight at College Park Center, when we honor 130 years of excellence with a night of hoops and history. I hope you will join me and show your Maverick pride as our UTA men’s basketball team takes on Southern Utah.

There are so many other ways you can be part of celebrating 130 years and counting, including:

  • Share your Maverick Memories, which could be featured in the anniversary edition of our alumni magazine, UTA Magazine.
  • Students can enter our Tartan Design Competition. The winning designer will receive a $1,000 scholarship, and their design will be used on University merchandise!
  • Watch our Happy 130th Birthday video, featuring several special guests, and share it on social media.
  • Purchase limited edition 130th anniversary hats and clothing at the UTA Bookstore

You can find more information and future updates on UTA’s official 130th anniversary website.

Happy 130th birthday, Mavericks! I look forward to celebrating with you all year long.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Cowley signature
