In Tribute

We continue to mourn the loss of five alumni who were killed by a gunman in Plano, Texas, on September 10, 2017. University President Richard C. Benson reached out to the UT Dallas community with this message [excerpted here]:

“I had no idea that the senseless violence would have connections to UT Dallas and would impact so many. We have confirmed that these Comets, who had formed friendships on our campus that carried beyond their collegiate lives, were victims. Many are touched by this news. As Comets, we unite in extending our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims.”
