The University of Texas at Dallas has some of the best and brightest faculty and staff as it continues on its mission to become a Tier One national research institution. By no means are these lofty aspirations, as the University also boasts several great opportunities for its student body.
The Naveen Jindal School of Management, UTD’s business school, has one of those career-changing opportunities through its strategic management capstone course. Each semester, undergraduates in their senior year get the chance to submit research papers to the International Conference held by the China Association for Management of Technology (CAMOT) at the University of Cambridge in England.
Each semester, Dr. Shawn Carraher, the instructor of the course, has made this event something that students can aspire to attend. As these students wrap up their undergraduate course work, they get the chance to write a paper that they can then present to the CBEC in hopes that it will be accepted and published. So far, the accolades that have come as a result of this opportunity have been an overwhelming representation of the education that comes from The University of Texas at Dallas.

With one simple donation you can impact the life of several well-deserving UT Dallas students. Also, every $1 that you donate will actually become $2. In full support of this campaign, the dean of the Jindal School has promised to match all donations. Your contribution will help these five hardworking scholars present their research papers in Cambridge University's Lecture Theatre on Oct. 8 and 9. One hundred percent of your donation will go toward travel, food and lodging expenses for UT Dallas students attending the conference.
Our goal is to raise $5,000. With the match, we will have $10,000 toward these students’ trip to Cambridge. We are fortunate enough that five of our students already have been selected to present their papers at the conference. However, it will cost approximately $2,000 per person to cover all the expenses that come with this trip across the pond. For college students, that kind of money doesn’t come easy. As they finalize their papers so that they can best represent both themselves and the University, there isn’t much time left to raise funds. So, they could use some help making this dream a possibility.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many of these students. The University of Texas at Dallas does a great job of opening doors for opportunities for its student body. Your contribution will help impact these students’ future research and career endeavors, and help boost the worldwide ranking of the Naveen Jindal School of Management.
