UTEP is a dynamic force in Texas and the Border region, but the UTEP community also goes out into the world, both across the oceans and across the street, making a worldwide impact.

This photo contest asks the questions: How far does UTEP’s reach extend?  Where do you make an impact as a UTEP community member?  How have you taken UTEP home?  Let us know the answers to one or all of these questions visually through your photos. Be creative and have fun!
