We are also active partners with the National Hispanic MBA organization. We participate, along with nine other schools, in a specially designed day-
long MBA boot camp. The purpose of the event is to provide information on MBA programs, funding options and the application process.

The School of Management sponsors a table with the National Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA), National Black MBA Association (NBMBAA) and
National Association of Black Accountants (NABA) during their annual Business Community Awards Gala. Employees from area companies such as
American Airlines, Bank of America and Burlington Northern attend and participate.

Texas Diversity Council is an organization that promotes diversity in the workplace. We participate as a partner twice a year by setting up an
informational table for prospective students that have been invited to the event. The Texas L.E.A.D. (Leadership, Education and Diversity) program is
sponsored by both the Black MBAs and Hispanic MBAs and we participate by setting up an informational booth to speak with perspective students.

During the fall semester we are invited to recruit at the following schools:

University of New Mexico
University of Texas at San Antonio
Houston-Tillotson University
University of Texas at Brownsville

retain students who graduate from Dallas area urban high schools with high class rankings without having completed the full university-track
curriculum. This summer scholarship program is offered to select entering freshmen and gives students the opportunity to begin their university
education immediately following their high school graduation. UT Dallas believes strongly in the capabilities of these students and fosters the Bridge
Program as a supportive introductory environment for those who choose to attend the University of Texas at Dallas.

• Free on-campus housing for the months of June and July, including a weekly meal stipend
• Tuition and fees for up to nine semester hours of courses—including college-level mathematics, rhetoric and introduction to
engineering/computer science
• Small class sizes (20 students or fewer)
• Tutoring and supplemental instruction
• Campus orientation activities
• Extracurricular activities and field trips
• The Bridge Builders Award, a $1,000 scholarship awarded to excellent Summer Bridge Program students

Eligible students will:

• Be admitted to UT Dallas
• Be ranked in the top 20 percent of the senior class
• Have graduated from a high school in the Dallas, DeSoto, Duncanville or Lancaster ISD

STRATEGIC PLAN AND LEADERSHIP

Please provide your school’s diversity mission statement.
UT Dallas Strategic Plan: Initiative Two
UT Dallas must also strongly support both excellence and inclusion and, therefore, must play a leadership role in meeting the needs of all of Texas’
citizens in a time of unprecedented change in demographics and increasing diversity of the state’s population.

Action 2.4: Enhancement of Diversity and Inclusion

The state and nation are being transformed into far more diverse places where no one ethnic group will comprise a majority. This development, coupled
with the increasing globalization of nearly all activities, makes it clear that future success will hinge on being able to engage a broad, diverse spectrum
of people, cultures and ideas. Special attention needs to be given to recognizing, enhancing and celebrating diversity. A vigorous diversity program
will be initiated and coordinated by a university leader, such as a vice president for diversity. Diversity and gender equity must be encouraged at all
levels of UT Dallas, throughout the hiring, recruitment and admissions processes, and in the curriculum where appropriate. Perhaps most importantly,
UT Dallas must establish a culture that welcomes and celebrates diversity, and prepares all its constituents to engage and succeed in an increasingly
diverse state and nation. UT Dallas must play a leadership role in meeting Texas’ challenges as it endeavors to close the gaps during a period of
significant changes in the state’s demographics, making special efforts to include all qualified students and to assure timely graduation. Specific
metrics will be developed and periodically integrated into broader goals of the UT system to ensure that component institutions, including UT Dallas,
help to meet the needs of the state. The goal of this initiative will be the creation of a community that actively and vigorously supports its many diverse
stakeholders—faculty, staff and students alike—and promotes campus culture of inclusiveness, openness and understanding. This endeavor will
require serious conversations about sometimes controversial issues, but UT Dallas cannot shy away from tackling socially-challenging issues and must
promote a thoughtful, learned dialogue from a range of perspectives in order to prepare its students for success and global leadership in tomorrow’s
world.

The University of Texas at Dallas is committed to creating a safe environment for all constituencies with the creation of SAFE ZONE. The mission of
SAFE ZONE is to create a safe space for people of all races, ethnicities, nationalities, genders, sexual orientations, religions, ages and abilities in order
to help everyone realize their full potential as human beings.

SAFE ZONE Goals

• Establish a universitywide network of visible allies who are willing to provide a supportive and inclusive environment to all people
• Provide those in the campus community an opportunity to express concerns related to discrimination and harassment without fear of
judgment and to be referred to appropriate campus resources
• Act as a role model in embracing diversity on our campus
• Assist in promoting an understanding that discrimination is hurtful to everyone on campus
• Foster a campuswide atmosphere that supports the success of those in our community, regardless of their differences, in an effort to
advance progress toward a campus that discourages discrimination and openly celebrates diversity
• Provide information on campuswide programming and events related to the SAFE ZONE

How does your school’s leadership communicate the importance of diversity to your student body, faculty and administration?
The University of Texas at Dallas is committed to fulfilling the university’s goal of increasing diversity and being responsive to diversity-related issues
and concerns. The office of diversity and community engagement promotes the fulfillment of the UT Dallas commitment to embrace, enhance and
celebrate diversity at all levels of the university through the efforts of faculty, staff, student and executive leadership. UT Dallas aspires to be a leader
in leveraging diversity to reach the highest levels of excellence.
