UTEP's relationship with Bhutan began with architecture in 1917 and evolved over time to include Bhutanese students studying at UTEP, research and study-away opportunities in Bhutan, an international opera performance as part of the Centennial Celebration Bhutan Days, an annual celebration every spring. Many connections to Bhutan can be found on campus in a wide variety of artifacts. Many of these artifacts were highlighted in Bhutan Days celebration, first held in 2005. An opportunity to learn about the rich culture and traditions of a Himalayan kingdom located along the northeast frontier of India, just above Bangladesh, Bhutan Days, serves an opportunity for students, faculty and staff and the great El Paso community to learn about the unique relationship between UTEP and the country of Bhutan.
