UT Permian Basin celebrates 50 years of serving the region and beyond
2023 marks an important year for The University of Texas Permian Basin- our 50th anniversary! With this milestone comes an opportunity to reflect on our past and share the exciting things on the horizon. For half a century, UT Permian Basin has been an invaluable pillar of education, innovation, and community in West Texas.

“This is an exciting time not only for our students, faculty, staff, and alumni, but also the community we serve,” said UTPB President, Dr. Sandra Woodley. “As we celebrate the impact that our University has on our region, we are laser focused on what’s to come. I’m looking forward to this year-long 50th anniversary celebration, and I hope that our community will join us for all the events we have planned!"

UT Permian Basin has launched a special website where you can learn about upcoming events, stories that highlight the faces that make-up UTPB, the history of our University, and how you can share the impact this University has had on you! We encourage everyone to visit utpb.edu/50 and #FlyWithUs.
