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 creation of a digital storytelling program in literature and languages and the transformation of communication programs to include podcasting and social media. And while growth is vital, I’m equally proud of the ways 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:
- Student access to industry tools and real-world learning opportunities
- Student scholarships that help ensure persistence through graduation
- Faculty innovation as they modernize education for today’s careers
Thank you,

Neil Gray, PhD
Dean — College of Arts and Sciences
