TCM Day 2024!
TCM Day is the longest-running tradition on campus where participants unite to do three things. First, to remember the university's roots of mining and engineering. Second, to pay homage to the patron saint of engineering, St. Pat. Last, to grow our school spirit of being UTEP Miners. Team-building activities are integrated throughout the day that will challenge and engage all students, faculty, and staff from around the campus. Sign-up Here!
