Event Description

Let’s celebrate what makes UTHealth Houston an employer of choice at the 2024 Fun Fest! You’ll be in for a treat as the Cooley University Life Center becomes the place for friends, music, games, and fun. Dress in your UTHealth Houston best. Burnt orange and gray attire is encouraged.

Remember to bring your UTHealth Houston ID badge to gain access to the park.

Fun Fest is one of the university’s ways of expressing appreciation for everyone in the UTHealth Houston community — students, faculty, and staff — for all they do, day in and day out.

All UTHealth Houston students, faculty, and staff are welcome to attend.

To get to Fun Fest, please take the UTHealth Houston Shuttle. The shuttle service is free with your UTHealth Houston ID badge and has more than a dozen convenient shuttle stops across our campuses in the Texas Medical Center. For locations and the schedule, visit www.uth.edu/shuttle.

Just for Fun Fest, we’ve added two additional shuttle locations – one at the Operations Center Building and one on the UTHealth Houston Behavioral Sciences Campus – to help everyone get to and from Fun Fest. 

The shuttle schedule for those locations are as follows:

  • Operations Center Building: Pick up at 1:45 p.m., drop off at Fun Fest, pick up from Fun Fest at 3:30 p.m. to return to Operations Center Building.
  • UTHealth Houston Behavioral Sciences Campus: Pick up near UTHealth Houston Harris County Psychiatric Center at 2:15 p.m., drop off at Fun Fest, pick up from Fun Fest at 4 p.m. to return to the Behavioral Sciences Campus.

Wherever you catch the shuttle, hop off at the School of Dentistry stop, and walk a short distance to the Cooley Center. Please note that because of construction on the South Campus, no event parking will be available in the East Road Lot, so the shuttle is the way to go.

Fun Fest attendees are encouraged to post their photos and experiences on their own social media channels, tag UTHealth Houston on FacebookInstagram, and X. Suggested hashtags include: #UTHealthHouston, #FunFest, and #ManyFacesOfUTHealthHouston.

UTHealth Houston staff will be taking photos and video at the event to be published in print, online, and on social media. If you do not want to be included in photos or video, please let the photographers know at the event.

Fun Fest attendees will have a variety of activities to choose from, including:

  • Music and dancing
  • Group photo booths
  • Selfie stations
  • Food and drinks
  • Carnival games
  • Cookie decorating

During check in, UTHealth Houston students, faculty, and staff will receive three food tickets: one for a turkey leg, one for mac & cheese, and one for churros.
