By 2025, all undergraduate students at UT Dallas will be included with this new initiative. “By providing minimum hardware and software requirements, students will be prepared for whatever they are studying at UT Dallas,” she said. Dr. Jessica Murphy, dean of undergraduate education, said the UT Dallas student technology initiative is the first step in establishing a strong foundation to maximize learning by leveraging technology assets.
