Welcome to University Unions

Every UT student views the world with a unique lens, and we want to see yours! If you have a love for our campus and photography, join the Through Our Eyes photo contest! 

Photo theme: What does UT mean to you? Whether it's showing school spirit, making new friends, learning from a professor who inspires you, or engaging in student orgs, the UT experience looks different for everyone. We want to see it how you see it.
