The university is hosting the 130th Birthday Bash from 10:30 a.m. to noon Sept. 5 at Brazos Park.
The event will celebrate UTA’s birthday with refreshments and entertainment, remarks from President Jennifer Cowley, an opportunity to write messages for a time capsule and a collection of historical pictures, artifacts and yearbooks from the UTA Libraries archives.
Mark LaVelle, assistant vice president for university events, said the event is designed to celebrate the university’s anniversary and to bring the community together.
The event will begin with a welcome from Mr. and Ms. UTA, followed by brief remarks from Cowley, a singing of the happy birthday song and a confetti finale.
No registration is required to attend the bash, and it is open to students, faculty, staff and community members. There will be tables and chairs lined up at Brazos Park and cupcakes for attendees.
If it is raining on Sept. 5, the event will move inside the University Center.
“This is a party that we hope students, faculty, staff and members of the community will all want to attend,” LaVelle said.
