Vision

UTEP Spirit will have a positive impact on all who interact with UTEP Spirit members by providing an experience which connects us as Miners. We are the catalyst that will instill Miner pride and traditions for our campus, UTEP Alumni, and El Paso Community.  Our values will guide us to strengthen the partnership between our campus and community.

Values

Our program focuses on maintaining an inclusive and safe environment that allows students to explore social, emotional, and physical well-being through opportunities of program initiatives and projects, campus engagement, and community outreach. The Spirit Operations Department commits to developing individuals of good character by fostering growth in leadership, a culture of superior work ethic, integrity, humility, and team work skills to encourage a pursuit of excellence which are guided by our core values.
