Recognizing Outstanding Students in Arts & Humanities
Friday, March 2, 2012
At the February 2012 Board meeting, the Regents approved allocations to fund new student awards.
The established awards will recognize outstanding achievement in the arts and humanities at UT System institutions. The arts and humanities enrich, enlighten, and inspire our students, promote creative expression, and in some cases provide professional careers. These annual awards will be given in one of four disciplines: musical arts, visual arts, poetry writing, and short essays. The first round of awards will be presented by the Board in 2012 and will recognize the musical arts. Awards will be given in two categories: a $1,500 award for an individual or duet performance, and a $2,500 award for a group performance.
This year's award recipients will be announced in May 2012. Nominations are now being accepted. Please visit academic affairs' dedicated student awards website for more information.
A Record Breaking Year
Wednesday, February 22, 2012
We began the New Year with terrific cause for celebration. Philanthropy across The University of Texas System reached an all-time high of $1.12 billion in fiscal year 2011, with gifts from nearly 227,000 alumni and other individual donors. Both of these figures are unprecedented, and if you consider that UT institutions accomplished this during difficult economic times, it is an impressive endorsement of support for the System’s universities and health institutions.
Leading the way for this banner year was UT Austin, which ranked third in the nation among public institutions of higher learning, and UT MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, which ranked 20th.
