April 29, 2024
Dear UT Dallas Community,
The International Center is thrilled to launch the “Chart Your Course” movement – an exciting initiative to empower our UT Dallas community to embrace a future filled with global possibilities. Whether you are a student, faculty member, staff member, or parent, we invite you to join us on this journey to continue to cultivate a community of global citizens.
Step 1: Obtain a Passport
We have an official U.S. passport application acceptance facility that provides services to the UT Dallas community, as well as to the greater North Texas area. By obtaining your U.S. passport, you can access many opportunities – from study abroad programs to international internships, cultural exchanges, and memorable vacations.
Step 2: Go Abroad
UT Dallas offers a variety of study and work abroad programs for students. Funding for studying abroad is available. Find out more about the IEF and other study abroad scholarships. Talk to an advisor to start your journey.
Step 3: Encourage Others to Engage Globally
Our university mission is to graduate well-rounded members of the global community prepared for rewarding lives and productive careers in a constantly changing world. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and help all UT Dallas students graduate with diplomas and a passport to the world. Encourage colleagues to also obtain a passport and plan their next adventure.
Step 4: Give Your Graduate the Gift of the World
Give your graduate the gift of global citizenship – an invaluable asset that will serve them well throughout their lives.
Step 5: Remove Barriers for Others
Donate to https://giving.utdallas.edu/ic and select “Passport Office Travel Fund.” Any amount to cover the cost of a passport for UT Dallas students applying for their first U.S. passport. You can help ensure that every student can explore the world and expand their perspective.
Join us in empowering our UT Dallas community to chart their own course and embrace a future filled with global possibilities. Thank you for your support.
