On Friday, UTA will celebrate 130 years of the university with Founder’s Day Fest, hosted by UTA Ambassadors, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Brazos Park with food, entertainment and prizes.
The event will feature live performances, including Mariachi Los Jinetes, a student-led mariachi band, and other student organizations. There will also be giveaways for attendees.
Students are encouraged to dress up as their favorite decade or century. Music from the past and present will be playing for students to enjoy.
Jodie Orogun, marketing chair for UTA Ambassadors, said Founder’s Day Fest is for students to fully understand what UTA stands for and witness that for themselves at the event.
“It’s really to bring us together as a school, as the diverse community that we are,” she said. “Just to celebrate, not only the school but one another, because we are part of UTA’s history now.”
