Archer Center

COMETogether and blaze the trail ahead for the next generation of Texas leaders!

As the Washington, D.C., campus of The University of Texas System, the Archer Center provides UT Dallas students with a semester-long opportunity to live, learn, and intern in our nation's capital. Since 2001, more than 1,500 Archer Fellows across The University of Texas System have participated in this transformative and impactful program.

Celebrate the 20^th Anniversary of the Archer Center and Congressman Bill Archer’s legacy by making a gift during Comets Giving Day! In partnership with the Archer Center Trust and the Archer Fellow Alumni Association, all funds raised during Comets Giving Day will support the Archer Center’s new 20^th Anniversary Student Success Fund and Endowment. Donations made at the $500 level and above gain membership to the Archer Center Trust.

Your support celebrates the past 20 years of leaders shaped at the Archer Center and will have a meaningful impact on next 20 years of Archer Fellows and beyond!
