Student Organizations

Student organizations are the life-line of our community. They provide support, mentorship and a sense of belonging. UTA has over 30 culturally-based student organizations. Many intersect with other identities such as gender, majors, academic interest and hobbies.


Community Connection Opportunities

Alternative Breaks Program

The Intercultural Student Engagement Center (ISEC) Alternative Breaks Program focuses on advocacy and leadership within communities across the nation.

Once students have returned from the Alternative Breaks experience, they are tasked with finding ways to be advocates and leaders within the UTA and greater DFW community.
