Events and Adventures at UT Dallas: Spring 2012

The spring semester is always packed with opportunities for career preparation, community service or cultural awareness, but there's plenty of room for Comets to have fun, too.

• Explore the WOW!

  
  Explore the WOW! is a hands-on way to check out the "World of Work" without the longer-term commitment of an internship or job. Offered during spring break, the program provides exposure to a work setting where students can learn about job requirements, employer expectations and professionalism.



• Alternative Spring Break

  
  Alternative Spring Break is a week-long immersion experience where student volunteers dedicate their time during spring break to assist service agencies and make a difference to array of communities.



• Career Expos

  
  The Career Center sponsors career expos throughout the year to help UT Dallas students and alumni connect with potential employers or potential graduate schools.



• Springapalooza

  
  Staged annually by the Student Union Activities Advisory Board (SUAAB), Springapalooza is a weeklong series of events in late March that marks the start of the last half of the spring semester at UT Dallas.



• International Week

  
  
  Held annually in April, International Week celebrates the cultural diversity of the University’s 3,500-plus international students. Festivities typically include dinners, dance parties and a talent show.



• Oozeball

  
  One of UT Dallas' favorite traditions, oozeball is a mud volleyball tournament held annually in late spring. In addition to student vs. student contests, there is typically a match between students and faculty.
