As winter comes in and the weather gets cooler, check out what we have to offer at this time of year. Whether you enjoy spending time in the sunshine, attending activities or trying seasonal treats, there are many ways to make the most out of the current season. 

Spend Time Outside

Make the most out of the current weather at any of our outdoor spaces. Grab a coffee, snack or sandwich from Cypress Bend Cafe, and enjoy it in the outdoor sitting area. With tables, chairs, and comfortable couches, there are a variety of seating options provided and many TVs for your entertainment. The San Jacinto Amphitheater is another ideal place for relaxation, offering scenic views and sunlight. You can lie in the grass or sit in one of the colorful chairs to unwind in this peaceful space. The plaza at Dobie Twenty21 features an open-air rooftop lounge. This space provides great views and low noise, so it’s perfect to go when you need to relax. Whether you’re spending time with friends, working on homework or relaxing, these spaces are great options for enjoying cooler temperatures.

Enjoy Seasonal Flavors

Indulge your taste buds with the delicious seasonal flavors available at various UHD-operated locations around campus. This season is the perfect opportunity to expand your palate. Stop by one of the dining halls to try any of the specialty menu items made specifically for this time of year. Visit Up and Atom to savor the unique tastes of its monthly specialty drinks. For a treat, enjoy a fall or winter-themed drink at one of our coffee locations such as Prufrock’s or Jester Java. If you weren’t able to attend one of UT Farm Stand’s fall markets, you’ll have the chance to purchase seasonal produce at one of the upcoming markets in the spring.

Attend Themed Events

Throughout the year, we offer a variety of fun events and programs such as themed meals or special desserts. Make the most of your campus experience by exploring the festivities we have planned next. Grab your friends and attend any of our upcoming events. You can look forward to warmth and comfort at our annual recurring end-of-term events such as Cookies and Caffeine. New events will also be hosted, featuring sweet treats of the season. Meal-plan holders can access these events with a meal swipe, and anyone without a meal plan can pay the dining hall fee for entry. To learn more about upcoming events, visit our Events page, which is regularly updated, or our InstagramFacebook and Twitter accounts.
