Spring 2012's event will mark the fourth annual I Heart UT Dallas health fair, the third 5K event, and our second partnership with Delta Epsilon Psi. Last year, we had over 100 attendees and lots of great information provided by various on-campus departments and student organizations about health.

 

Thanks for your involvement and stay healthy, UTD!

 

History of a Tradition

I Heart UT Dallas began in the spring of 2009 as a Heart Health Awareness Fair in the Student Union. The following year, a group of students approached Student Government about adding a fundraising component for relief efforts in Haiti and the 5K "Hearts for Haiti" was added to the health fair. In 2011, Student Government and Delta Epsilon Psi collaborated to bring a general health fair and annual 5K supporting a local charity.
