These three and several F&ED volunteers welcomed UTD’s neighbors to Community Appreciation Day during Homecoming Week. Guests attended the Comets women’s and men’s basketball games, joined us for lunch, and celebrated the special town-and-gown relationship between the City of Richardson and the University of Texas at Dallas.
