Temoc during Senior Week at UT Dallas

UT Dallas will send off its graduating seniors in style, with a full-scale carnival, a ring ceremony and special photo opportunities with the University’s mascot Temoc during Senior Week festivities May 13-18.

The Senior Send Off carnival is the highlight of Senior Week, with rides, food, amusements and more. The carnival is open to the entire campus community.

The annual weeklong celebration is part of the Senior Year Experience program, which provides resources and support to help students in their final year at UT Dallas and prepare them as they make transitions to careers or graduate school.
