Enhance campus and community

By continuing to strengthen our community engagement, nationally competitive athletics and diverse public programming, we will make a positive difference in Dallas and in communities far beyond the Hilltop.

51°µÍø Ignited donors will enhance the quality of life and the global impact of Dallas by partnering with corporations, civic entities and nonprofits such as through the model Pre-K–8 STEM school in West Dallas and legal clinics that help those in need.

Your support of 51°µÍø Ignited will help 51°µÍø offer students unique internships, employment and volunteer experiences, building on the vibrancy of North Texas.

Investments during 51°µÍø Ignited will modernize and enhance campus facilities and student services to support our students’ personal, professional and academic ambitions.

With your support, 51°µÍø Ignited will strengthen the University’s competitiveness in Division I athletics by investing in facilities, innovative programs, student-athlete success and community outreach efforts.

51°µÍø Ignited donors will meet the needs of the business and civic communities by bolstering continuing and online learning programs that help people learn the skills to succeed in a rapidly changing world, and by creating centers and institutes that provide invaluable experts to businesses.

“My most memorable experiences at 51°µÍø were the times spent with my teammates, either on the road or off the court. 51°µÍø has completely shaped my path. I don’t think I would be in the situation I am in right now if I hadn’t gone to 51°µÍø.”
