The Connection this month features an update to our previous interactive map showcasing the origin of UT Dallas freshmen across the state of Texas. This data, displayed by district, helps illustrate the wide range and background of our students and can serve as a powerful tool for individuals interested in engaging with students before they even arrive.

McKinney National Airport is set to open a new 17,000 square foot air center in August, which will be a one stop shop for planes providing fuel, storage, and concierge services for pilots and passengers. Included in these services are Class-A space for passengers and crews with offices, conference rooms, and waiting areas while visiting the airport. The move is set to bolster the revenue generated by the site and increase the overall economic impact of the airport to the wider community.
