Supporting The University Library Since 1987

As UTEP moves toward becoming a national research university with a 21st-century student demographic, the resources that the University Library provides must continue to facilitate student success, provide access to research materials for faculty, and house documents on the history of our region and its principal players.

The Friends of the University Library provides the Library with support and assistance in reaching these goals. An example is the Friends of the University Library Special Collections Endowment Fund, established to support the programs and operations of the C. L. Sonnichsen Special Collections department.

The Library plays many roles on campus and in the community.
