The University of Texas at Dallas, often called UT Dallas or UTD, is a public research university in the University of Texas System. Despite its name, the UTD main campus is located in the Dallas suburb of Richardson, Texas, United States, just north of the Dallas city limits. A satellite location (the Callier Center for Communication Disorders) of UT Dallas is located adjacent to the UT Southwestern campus in central Dallas.

The university is known for its computer science, natural science, engineering, cognitive science, and mathematics programs, and its students' average SAT scores are the highest of any public university in the state[5]. It ranks third among public universities in Texas in the percentage of National Merit Scholars in its freshman class. UTD also is known for its graduate programs in international management, economics and political economy, which offer both masters and doctoral programs[5]. UTD is located in the heart of Telecom Corridor, and has its roots in the development of the Metroplex's high tech industry.

[edit] History

Before World War II, Eugene McDermott, Cecil Green and J. Erik Jonsson, the founders of Geophysical Services, Inc., established Texas Instruments in order to focus on designing instruments for tracking enemy planes and submarines. Because the company was forced to recruit engineering talent from other states during its expansion, the founders observed in 1959 that "To grow industrially, the region must grow academically; it must provide the intellectual atmosphere, which will allow it to compete in the new industries dependent on highly trained and creative minds [6]."

Therefore in 1961, the university actually originated as a research arm of Texas Instruments, named as the Graduate Research Center of the Southwest, which recruited some of the best scientific talent in the nation. The institute (by then renamed the Southwest Center for Advanced Studies) was later donated to the University of Texas System by its founders and on June 13, 1969, Governor Preston Smith signed the bill creating the University of Texas at Dallas. By law, UTD conferred only graduate degrees until 1975. Upper-division undergraduate students were allowed to start enrolling in UTD starting in 1974. In 1986, UTD established the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, which currently possesses the largest undergraduate enrollment in the university. Eventually, freshmen and sophomores were allowed by legislative decree in 1990.[7] More recently, the university established the Eugene McDermott Scholars Program in September 2000, which provides generous scholarships to twenty of the nation's brightest students attending the campus each year.

[edit] University presidents

  • Francis S. Johnson, interim (1969-1971)
  • Bryce Jordan (1971-1981)
  • Alexander L. Clark, interim (1981-1982)
  • Robert Rutford (1982-1994)
  • Franklyn Jenifer (1994-2005)
  • David E. Daniel (2005-present)

[edit] Traditions

Some of the traditions that give UT Dallas its distinctive flavor are Homecoming, Annual Oozeball Tournament, Ceremonial Mace, Legacy Lane, Welcome Week, Sounds of Class, and Family Day.

Recently added is the Spirit Rock, on the mall between the Jonsson and Green buildings. Students and Organizations are allowed to paint whatever they like on the rock. Obscene material is taken down, but often reappears quickly.

[edit] Campus

Although a relatively new campus, it has grown by leaps and bounds. Having more room than the UT System's flagship school, University of Texas at Austin, there is plenty room for growth[8].The area controlled by UTD totals 866 acres (3.5 km²), with half of that (460 acres or 1.9 km²) designated as the real limit to "campus" development. The remainder is held and strategically subdivided and sold over time to increase the University's endowment.

The UTD campus is also known by some as a home to feral cats[9]. In response to this, the student body formed the "Comet Cat Coalition" (CCC)[10] which has taken the responsibility of humanely managing the cat population on campus. This include nourishing, neutering, and general care for stray cats. Campus feeding stations have also been established. According to CCC, since September of 2007 no new kittens have been born on campus[11].

[edit] Typical architecture

UTD NSERL Building
UTD NSERL Building

Early architecture on the campus typically exhibits characteristics of brutalism. Many of the buildings are a pale, off-white, precast concrete with repetitive structures.

Later buildings exhibit late modern or postmodern features of bronze glass, bronze aluminum frames, and include unadorned geometric shapes. Examples of later modern styling on campus are the Engineering and Computer Science building, the School of Management, the activities center, Cecil and Ida Green Center, the administration building and the new Natural Science and Engineering Research Lab building. These are unique in appearance, with marbled floors, large glass windows, unorthodox layouts, and in the case of the Natural Science and Engineering Research Lab, rather colorful. Facilitating rapid growth, there are also two temporary prefabricated units that serve as classrooms for many of the advanced math and science courses.

Many of the buildings are connected by a series of aerial walkways, so it is possible to walk from one side of campus to the other without exiting the buildings. The layout of the Jonsson building is particularly unusual, as its first and second floors are split by the Jonsson Performance Hall, the location of all University theatrical performances until the recent addition of the University Theater.

[edit] Landscaping

Starting in September 2006, the 30-million dollar UTD Campus Landscape Enhancement Project, largely funded by the wife of founder Eugene McDermott, is meant to enhance the current feel of campus. The project will encompass all aspects of landscaping on the 500 acre campus.

The first of several enhancements to be made will involve UTD’s campus perimeter and entrance roads, as well as the central plaza, where the major north-south and east-west pedestrian routes meet. Additions to the campus perimeter and entrance roads could include planting, fencing, landscaping, lighting and signage.

World-renowned landscaping firm Peter Walker and Partners is spearheading the project. PWP is also known for creating the 1000 acre Millennium Park in Sydney, Australia for the 2000 summer Olympics. They are also in charge of the World Trade Center Memorial Park. Other projects include the Nasher Sculpture Garden at the Dallas Museum of Arts.

Since the beginning of President Daniel's tenure at UTD, picnic tables were erected near the Multi Purpose building, new campus signs have been constructed at both Waterview Pkwy. and Floyd Rd. intersecting with Campbell Rd, and replacement of the walkway tiles has been completed.

[edit] Residential housing

On-campus housing for students is provided in Waterview Park, generally referred to simply as Waterview, a complex of 1,297 apartments spread across 9 phases. Phase VIII houses all freshmen who choose to live on campus. Apartments are shared by up to four students, and have individual hygiene and cooking facilities, as well as wireless network access. Leisure facilities, including clubhouses and pools, are shared between the residents of each building.

Waterview has attracted a certain amount of controversy, being dubbed "the Dorm from Hell" in an April 2005 article in The Dallas Observer. The article criticised the apartment complex as poorly designed, poorly maintained, and a hotbed of violent crime. The Dallas Observer's cover showed a man smothering a woman with chloroform, a reference to a rape that occurred in the apartment complex. The accuracy of the article has been called into question, since it was written by an investigative journalism class at nearby Southern Methodist University. University authorities took the allegations seriously enough to institute an internal inquiry. In 2006 $874,000 dollars in repairs were recommended by an inspection agency that was hired in response to this article[12]. These repairs included things as simple as replacing bad smoke alarms and many other general repairs[13]. Most of the issues in that report have been taken care of, as UTD Mercury covered in their report one year later [14]. Beginning in late 2007, half of the campus apartments were moved under the management of a different company and renamed as University Village.

Beginning in early 2008, construction will begin on a "living-learning" dormitory-style facility. Each suite will feature individual rooms connected to a common bath and lounge area. The facility is expected to house at least 400 students, with occupancy beginning in Fall 2009.

[edit] Building plans

  • In August 2006, the UT System Board of Regents allocated $27 million for the construction of a new facility that will focus on research-based education in mathematics, science and engineering
  • A full renovation of the Founders and Founders West Annex Buildings
  • A dining hall
  • A new student services building
  • A cluster of modern dormitories, which will resemble suites
  • A Greek Village; consisting of a Greek center to house offices, meeting rooms, guest quarters and study rooms, and Greek Lodgings
  • Expansion of classrooms and offices
  • The construction of a new arts and technology center
  • 6,000 additional parking spaces. This could possibly include a parking garage on campus

[edit] Research

In 2007, UT Dallas spent $46.5 million which currently places UTD research expenditure as the second highest, amongst non-medical institutions, in the University of Texas System for research funding[15]. Current research is mostly centered in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering & Computer Science and the School of Natural Sciences & Mathematics. Much of the funding and support comes from the state, UT System, Texas Instruments, UT Southwestern Medical Center, National Science Foundation, and NASA. For its work on cybersecurity, the university is federally designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Research[16].

  • The Alan G. MacDiarmid NanoTech Institute was established in 2001 when Dr. Ray Baughman, a pioneering nanotechnologist, became the Robert A. Welch Distinguished Chair in Chemistry and director of the university's NanoTech Institute. In 2007, it was renamed in memory of the late Alan G. MacDiarmid, who shared the 2000 Nobel Prize in chemistry with Alan Heeger and Hideki Shirakawa. The research center is recognized for its work on carbon nanotube yarns, transparent electrically conducting sheets, and alcohol-powered artificial muscles.

[edit] Student media

[edit] Student newspapers

  • The UTD Mercury

The UTD Mercury is the official student newspaper of the University of Texas at Dallas since 1980. The UTD Mercury is published in 7,000 copies at two week intervals on Mondays during the fall and spring semesters except holidays and exam periods, and once every three weeks during the summer. Copies of the current publication can be picked up for free around campus or by stopping in the newsroom for additional copies[18].

  • A Modest Proposal

In 2004, partly as a response to The UTD Mercury's unwillingness to allow part-time contributors, another student newspaper named A Modest Proposal (AMP) was formed. In contrast to The UTD Mercury which is almost all news articles, AMP features mostly editorial content. AMP is published once a month, eight times a year. Any student, faculty, or staff of UTD can contribute to the paper. Up to five editors are selected in each semester by the contributing body of AMP, and they serve the duration of the semester. Copies of AMP are available for free at the first of each month around the campus, and can also be downloaded in PDF format from their website[19].

[edit] Radio UTD

Main article: Radio UTD

Radio UTD, the university's student-run radio station, is a young but growing force in college radio. It offers streaming music 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and also broadcasts UTD sports games. The station has been nominated twice for College Music Journal (CMJ) awards[20][21]. Radio UTD has also been featured on XM Satellite Radio Channel 43 (XMU) on The Student Exchange Program. They are the youngest station to be chosen to "take over" the airwaves for this two hour show.[22]

[edit] UTD in popular culture

The independent movie Primer was partially filmed at the University of Texas at Dallas in 2004 by Shane Carruth. The film went on to win the Grand Jury and the Alfred P. Sloan awards at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.

[edit] Athletics

The University of Texas at Dallas athletics program started when UTD provisionally joined the NCAA Division III and the American Southwest Conference in 1998. UTD was granted full membership in the ASC in 2002, and since then the Comets have become perennial title contenders in several sports including men's and women's soccer, baseball, men's tennis, softball, men's basketball and most recently volleyball. Additionally, athletes from several individual sports have made their mark on conference competition.

During the 2002 inaugural season, the men's and women's soccer teams competed for conference championships. The women won the 2002 ASC title and UTD ended up hosting the conference tournament as well as the first round of NCAA playoffs in UTD's first year as active members. The success continued in 2003-04 when men's and women's soccer, men's basketball, baseball and softball all advanced to the post-season.

In 2005, the UTD Athletic Program claimed three ASC Championships: men's soccer and men's basketball as well as a co-championship in women's soccer. The men's soccer and basketball teams advanced to the NCAA Division III national playoffs in their sports. Baseball and softball also made its third consecutive appearance in the ASC post-season tournament.

In 2006, the Comets women's volleyball team claimed an ASC East Division regular season co-championship (shared with East Texas Baptist University). On 20 December, the Comets men's basketball team upset the University of Texas at Arlington Mavericks 78-76 at UT Arlington's Texas Hall and became the first Division III team to defeat a Division I basketball team during the 2006-2007 season.[23]

In 2007, the men's soccer team won the ASC championship, advancing to the NCAA tournament. Having 8 new team players as starters and only 3 veterans, the Comets led by top goal scorers Kevin White from Houston and Mihai Cotet from Braila, Romania led the team to its second ASC Tournament title in history. The men's tennis program had a very successful season, beating Division II teams and advancing as far as the ASC Conference final before falling to Hardin-Simmons.

To support UTD teams and build school spirit, UTD has the Power Dancers and cheerleaders that are lovingly called "hale boppers".

[edit] Intramural sports

UTD has grown as a collegiate level flag football powerhouse. Its 2004 Women's intramural flag football champs, the Killer Bees, went on to defeat many NCAA Division I schools at the Texas regional tournament, including UT Austin (in a shut-out win) where they were crowned regional champs. They progressed to the national championships where they finished third at the National Tournament in New Orleans, beating college football powerhouses Nebraska and North Carolina State along the way.

UTD played host to the 2005 Texas Regional Flag Football Tournament Nov. 11-13.

UTD played host to the 2007 National Flag Football Tournament. UTD teams placed in the Top 8 in the Men's and Co-Rec Division and again defeated the University of Texas at Austin, maintaining dominance in the UT System.

In the Fall of 1992 the university had an intercollegiate pistol team that won several placements in state tournaments and collegiate sectionals, in both individual and team events. The events competed in are as follows: air pistol, junior air pistol, women's air pistol, standard pistol, free pistol and women's sport pistol. One member of the team, Eric Colbath, was an All-American and went to Collegiate Nationals in 1993, 1994 and 1995 as an individual and Chris Jones went to Collegiate Nationals as an individual in 1995. The team disbanded at the end of Spring 1995 when the core members graduated[24].

[edit] Football team

The school has never participated in NCAA football. It is a running joke with students and alumni that their football team remains "undefeated". T-shirts featuring the school logo, a football, and the words "Still Undefeated" are sold at the campus bookstore.

[edit] Debate team

Operating under the auspices of the Office of Undergraduate Education, the UTD Debate Team is creating a tradition of success and excellence in college debate. The UTD debate team won the Cross Examination Debate Association's "Brady Lee Garrison Newcomer Sweepstakes Award" in Spring 1997. It has continued to grow into a nationally known and respected college debate team ever since then. The team hosted its first annual 'Fear and Loathing in Dallas' tournament in January 2004. It is now the largest annual regular season college tournament in the region with over 325 participants, coaches, and judges in attendance. UTD first qualified a team for the National Debate Tournament in 2004 and has qualified each year since. Members of UTD debate team come from across the country and most receive some level of merit-based scholarship.

[edit] Chess team

The internationally top-ranked UT Dallas chess team was launched nearly a decade ago, and has quickly become a perennial contender for national championships. UTD's chess players have won or tied for the Pan American Intercollegiate Team Chess Championship title for four out of the last five years, emblematic of the top college chess team in the Western Hemisphere. The university recruits worldwide for its chess team, and has been able to attract many International Master level players and currently includes two Grandmaster level players, Alejandro Ramirez and Magesh Panchanathan. The UTD chess team repeatedly won the Southwest Collegiate Championship in 2008, 2007, 2006, 2004, and 2003. It also won the Transatlantic Cup in November 2007, defeating European powerhouse University of Belgrade in an international chess match[25].
