Give Today!

The University of Texas at Tyler is known for changing lives, and as a graduate, you stand as a testament to that fact. We are proud to count you among our alumni ranks because you, like so many, came here with an idea of your future in mind and worked hard to see that vision realized. 

Many student success stories rely on the generosity of Patriots who preceded them. We’re proud to offer resources and technologies that allow any student, no matter their situation, to persist through college, onto the graduation stage and into their careers. But many of our crucial support services can only happen with the support of alumni like you.  

We’re proud of what the College of Arts and Sciences continues to accomplish, like the launch of a new graphic design track and creation of local partnerships that bring arts education to local K-12 students. And while growth is vital, I’m equally proud of how our college has sustained its long-running ability to cultivate a university family.

As our arts and sciences family continues to grow, I’d ask that you consider supporting future generations of Patriot alumni like you. Any amount you can give today will change lives tomorrow. You could help provide crucial support in these areas: 

  • Scholarships for students in the visual and performing arts
  • Equipment and instrument upgrades to enhance performance experiences
  • Faculty and student outreach through community-based arts initiatives

 

Thank you,

Meet Kaylee Marcil

I was born in Rogers, Arkansas, but I grew up in Texas for most of my life. I am currently in my last year of studies at UT Tyler, and my major is art history. This major interested me because I always had a love for art growing up and I did art all throughout high school. My art history professor at UT Tyler, Dr. Elizabeth Lisot-Nelson, encouraged me to study art history when she noticed how much I engaged in class and was interested in pursuing the job field. I hope to be a museum curator one day!
