Terry Scholar Student Organization

The Terry Scholars at UTEP Student Organization is the on campus organization for the Terry Foundation at The University of Texas at El Paso. Our slogan is "We Are Familia" because that is something that we create here at UTEP within our scholars. We host bi-weekly meetings for all scholars to discuss service projects, social events, professional development activities, and intramural sports. We ask that all Terry Scholars at UTEP remain actively involved with the organization because it allows them to continue to develop their "familia" and actively engage in community service.

Student Organization Events

The Terry Scholar Student Organization prides themselves in their dedication to upholding their promises to give back. The pictures below depict some of the community service events that the members participated in throughout the year. The events varied anywhere from volunteering at a local YWCA center that served as a sanctuary for women and families that were victims of domestic violence, to packing boxes of food to hand out to the community from the El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank, to building a relationship with a local nursing home and interacting with residents and visiting regularly, to helping with the restoration of a church with the use of a little paint. Community service is at the forefront of the organization as they continue to give back to a community that gave back to them.
