ECE Virtual 5K for UT Student Emergency Fund

Texas ECE challenges our students, faculty, staff, and alumni to take care of yourselves and each other by participating in this Virtual 5K and fundraiser for the UT Student Emergency Fund

 

About the UT Student Emergency Fund

The spread of COVID-19 has changed our lives for the months ahead. As we navigate daily uncertainty and change, our community is coming together to support the UT students who need our help most. Donations to the UT Student Emergency Fund will help provide students with emergency support from UT to ensure they are fed, housed and able to participate in our new online learning model. 

Donations to the Student Emergency Fund (including donations through this Virtual 5K fundraiser) will be matched dollar for dollar until the University's $2 million goal is hit.
