Hosting an Event at UT Tyler
Hosting an Event on Campus
The University of Texas at Tyler is a centerpiece for learning, culture and natural beauty in East Texas, located midway between Dallas and Shreveport, Louisiana. Founded in 1971, UT Tyler is one of the fastest-growing universities in the renowned University of Texas System.
Our beautiful 259-acre Tyler campus is nestled along a lake surrounded by thick pine and oak forests, wooded walking paths and a park-like environment providing a picturesque location for events. UT Tyler has multiple venues for event hosting, including the Alumni House, University Center, Ornelas Activity Center, Braithwaite Recital Hall, Meadows Gallery Lobby and more. It is the perfect place to get away from it all while still enjoying the amenities expected at a well-equipped university.
