Mission statement
Providing excellent, innovative education and research, UT Dallas (UTD) is committed to graduating well-rounded members of the global community; to continually improving educational and research programs in the humanities, arts, sciences, engineering and management; and to assisting the commercialization of intellectual capital generated by students, staff and faculty.
2023-2024 Goals
UTD aspires to be one of the nation’s best public research universities and one of the great universities of the world. Building upon a half-century of momentum, New Dimensions: The Campaign for UT Dallas is helping to attract the best and brightest, enhance lives through research and transform the arts.

Volunteer opportunities
Speak to a class or to a student group, volunteer at an alumni event, mentor students, serve as a Comets Giving Days ambassador, or share your stories and experiences. Learn more at alumni.utdallas.edu/volunteer.
Donation opportunities
Each gift toward the $750 million New Dimensions campaign will directly support the needs of exceptional students, facilitate the enterprising work of faculty, and realize the possibilities that exist when world-class researchers and visionary artists share a home.
