Temoc is the official mascot of the University of Texas at Dallas. Temoc’s name, blue skin and fiery red hair all come from a single source: Temoc is comet spelled backwards.
About Temoc
Temoc struts when he walks and gives out high fives because he is a really cool guy. His best friends are cheerleaders, power dancers and his manager Patty Atchley.
Temoc is very serious about his physique and can be spotted working out at the Activity Center.
Temoc is very supportive of the UT Dallas Athletics of all kinds: soccer, basketball, baseball, volleyball and others. He is a part of the UT Dallas community and is one with the crowd.
Temoc also likes to attend major events on campus such as the Homecoming Parade, Casino Night, Freshman Convocation, Orientations, Alumni Breakfasts and others.
Furthermore, Temoc enjoys giving back to the community by participating in community service programs.
