Building the Global Community
When you come to UT, you’ll automatically be part of our campus community. As you become more involved in the academic and extracurricular life of campus, you will become a part of communities of your peers, other students whose interest match your own. Important communities and lifelong friendships develop by living in any of UT’s residence halls. You may choose to live in one of our learning communities, you may opt for Greek life, you may participate in intramural athletics, or you may decide to join or start your own campus organization.
UT would like to help you expand your horizons beyond our campus—not only to help prepare you for a future as a member of the global community, but also to help bring the global community to UT. We have many great programs and facilities on campus that promote a culture of diversity and will help you broaden your horizons.
Ready for the World
Are you ready to watch? Ready to listen? Ready to go? Ready for the World is part of a long-range plan to transform the campus into a culture of diversity that best prepares students for working and competing in the 21st century. Many campus-wide opportunities are associated with this initiative, including films, concerts, conversations, seminars, and more. Get ready for your future—get ready for the world!
