Dear UT Dallas students, faculty and staff:

At UT Dallas, we will join in the National Day of Mourning on Wednesday, Dec. 5, to honor George H.W. Bush, the 41st President of the United States. President Bush will be remembered as a World War II veteran, a successful businessman and a dedicated public servant to both Texas and the nation.

He will be honored with a televised memorial service at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., at 10 a.m. CST on Wednesday. I invite you to pause at that time for a moment of silence and to reflect on his distinguished public service and exemplary leadership.

Campus will remain open on Wednesday, and classes will be in session.

Sincerely,

Richard C. Benson signature
