THE BIG EVENT at UTA

On April 24, 2010, an estimated 800 students, faculty, and staff of UT Arlington will unite for The Big Event in order to make a difference in our communities. The Big Event began in 1982 at Texas A&M and has grown to now include 72 universities including UTA.

During this day of service, volunteers will complete dozens of community improvement projects in and around Arlington such as painting, landscaping, youth development workshops, and facility cleanup all on one BIG day. The Big Event volunteers will arrive at their project sites on the morning of Saturday, April 24 from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm with flexible times depending on the project of choice.

The Big Event will conclude with SpringFest 2010 concert series starring The Bravery as the opening band on the UT Arlington campus. Once volunteers finish at their project site, they are invited to the UT Arlington Library Mall for SpringFest 2010 beginning around 5:30 p.m. Volunteers will receive a free meal and enjoy music, activities, and guest speakers. The SpringFest concerts will begin around 6:30 p.m.
