Comet Calendar

Pick up supplies to start your semester off strong! Includes clothing, shoes, kitchenware, linens, home goods, dorm essentials, school supplies, small furniture, and more. Free for all currently enrolled students! More event details to be announced as we get closer to the event date. 

This event is hosted by the Basic Needs Resource Center, part of the Division of Student Affairs, with generous support from UT Dallas Alumni.

This is a come-and-go event, with the items on a first-come first-served basis, so attendees are recommended to first visit the event near the start of the event time. There is no guarantee of specific items! Event volunteers will be on-site, including to help with transporting items to nearby vehicles.

Support from our Comet community - fellow students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community members - makes all the difference in supporting students starting their year strong and with all the supplies they need to succeed! Information on the donation drive to support this event will be announced as we get closer to the event date! 

This event is part of Weeks of Welcome, a series of events and activities held annually each fall that celebrates the arrival of new students and the return of continuing students. View the full WOW schedule here: weeksofwelcome.utdallas.edu.
