UTEP's Orange & Blue Day will be packed with activities for you to explore, learn, and connect! We recommend that you take the opportunity to download the UTEP Go App to stay-up-to-date and receive important notification regarding Orange & Blue Day and other events.
Free parking for Orange & Blue Day will be available in the Sun Bowl Parking Garage and nearby lots. To view an interactive map, visit https://www.utep.edu/map.
The best way to start your day is by reviewing the Orange and Blue Day program on the UTEP Go App. Identify activities based on your academic major, interests, or steps to enroll. Options include housing and campus tours, orientation sign-ups, and meetings with Admission or Financial Aid counselors.
For instance, if you're into Nursing, attend one of their scheduled presentations at the Health Sciences Building, check out their Simulation Lab tours, then stop by Centennial Plaza to see a Recreational Center activity. If interested in Financial Aid, join the presentation at the UGLC and connect with a counselor at the Senior Corner.
In addition, I could also stop by to chat with a current UTEP student and learn more about how to get involved on campus by speaking and the student organization fair.
