Let’s meet up with Sarah, a healthcare studies junior with her eye set on med school. The beauty of this campus is more than just easy on the eyes. Sarah says it is served as an important backdrop to her college life, inspiring her to stretch herself academically and socially. We’re all intrigued. Sarah, you are on.
– Thanks for the introduction, Alex. Hi, everyone, welcome to UT Dallas, located in one of the fastest growing and most dynamic areas in the country. UT Dallas is keeping up with the change with modern new buildings and ever-growing diverse student body, and new academic resources. As an orientation leader and student ambassador, I have the pleasure of showing new students, faculty, and donors around our beautiful campus. One of the most distinct parts of this campus is a 116 Magnolia trees that line the five reflection pools. These reflection pools stretch across campus leading to the Plinth, one of my favorite spots here at UT Dallas. If you are ever visiting UT Dallas and are not used to the Texas heat, I highly recommend walking through the mister located right in the center of the Plinth for a few seconds of cold breeze. My favorite thing to tell guests is that no matter who you are or where you come from, somehow everyone fits in on this campus. UT Dallas’s commitment to student success goes beyond the classroom all the way to the design of the buildings. The Engineering Computer Science West building exposes systems and components to demonstrate engineering concepts at work. In addition, the outside of the Science Learning Center is designed to look like DNA separation as seen in gel electrophoresis. UT Dallas’s aesthetic campus has given me a place to truly enjoy learning. I’ve gathered knowledge about my interests while learning from a diverse student body. UT Dallas has no doubt equipped me to be a successful leader. Whooshing it back to you, Alex.
– Whoosh, Sarah, thank you for sharing your story of your college experience, this dynamic part of the Lone Star State and UTD’s campus beauty, which is truly remarkable, it’s clear that you’ve tapped into a big reason UTD is growing so fast. Thank you, Sarah.
