UTeach Fine Arts Student Advisory Council members had a blast at Gone to COFA, held in the Kendra Scott Center from 5 to 7 pm on August 26, 2024. They met so many new Fine Arts students and were able to share their experiences as UTFA students. We hope to see many new students attend our planned UTeach Fine Arts events this semester. We prepare teachers. You change the world.
