Throughout the academic year, we host a variety of programs and events for residents, dining hall guests and members of the campus community. You can always find the latest information about upcoming events on our events webpage, which is regularly updated with new programming that’s open to all Longhorns. It’s never too late to get involved by joining us at one of our events, whether you’re interested in perusing the UT Farm Stand Market for fresh produce or looking to join our team at an upcoming job fair.
Types of Events
Campus Community Events
These events are free to all students and typically involve fun activities, entertainment, food, giveaways and more. In the coming weeks, you’ll have the chance to celebrate National Coffee Day, learn about our open student dining positions, grab fresh produce at our on-campus farmer’s market and connect with a member of our faculty. Event times vary – and some events will recur – so hopefully you can catch one that fits into your schedule!
Dining Hall Events
Our dining hall events take place throughout the fall and spring terms at J2 and Kins Dining, where you can expect theme nights, specialty cuisine and exclusive treats. Meal plan holders can access these events with a meal swipe and anyone without a meal plan can pay the entrance fee for the dining hall. Events you can look forward to this month include a hot honey chicken bowl pop-up at both J2 and Kins Dining as part of the monthly Curated Cravings line takeovers by the UHD registered dietitians.
Residence Hall Events
Each residence hall holds several events during the academic year that are great for meeting the neighbors in your hall or on your floor. Be on the lookout for details from your RA about these gatherings, which can include fun activities, free food and presentations by campus partners.
