MISSED ALL THE FUN, BUT STILL WANT TO MAKE AN IMPACT?
Comet Life

UT Dallas Comet Life is a student organization helping thousands of students stay updated with campus activities and student life. We strive to capture happy moments and showcase them for all to see! Our goal is helping connect students to their campus through our largely followed, engaging, student life social media channels, @utdcometlife. 

 

What we do: Comet Life is a melting pot of unique skill sets, diverse perspectives, and vibrant personalities. Our divisions include, but are not limited to: online marketing, digital art, journalism, web development, photography, merchandise, and events planning.

 

What the funds can help: Your gift to Comet Life will support students who volunteer around the clock to capture and showcase the best of UT Dallas student life. We will be able to provide professional tools and softwares to members seeking to take their work and careers to the next level, as well as host events and provide free swag to fellow Comets.
