Service @ AEZ
The Service program at AEZ is very diverse, comprising
of projects from each of the four fields of service: Chapter, Campus,
Community, and Country. We have hosted conferences, conducted maintenance
work around campus, cleaned the attic at Bryan's House (a house for
children affected by AIDS), and much much more.
UMOC
Ugly Man on Campus or UMOC for short. The purpose of this fundraiser is to raise money for a non-profit organization. The project involves an election with six candidates (three students and three faculty members) who compete for the title, "Ugly Man on Campus." Votes are cast through donations: all silver change counts as negative votes; all pennies and bills count as positive votes. At the end of UMOC week, the candidate with the most positive votes is declared "Ugly Man on Campus."
Trick or Treat for Canned Goods
Every UTD organization is invited to participate in Alpha Phi Omega's Trick-or-Treat for Canned Goods. Each organization may enter teams of no more than eight people to compete for the most cans collected. Teams are assigned routes in the local area which they will collect canned food donations from. All donations benefit the North Texas Food Bank.
Math & Science Camp
Alpha Phi Omega's Annual Math and Science Camp for Kids targets underprivileged elementary students, grades 3rd through 6th, who might be struggling in their studies. This one-day camp features fun and educational workshops that help spark the children's interest in learning. The camp is offered completely free of charge for its participants. The kids are provided transportation to and from their schools, breakfast, lunch, a camp T-shirt, a certificate, and even a souvenir bag at the end of the day! M&S Camp is a wonderful opportunity for kids to enjoy different areas of science, practice their math skills, learn new concepts, as well as make new friends.
Scouting University
Scouting University is a merit badge college run by the members of the Alpha Epsilon Zeta Chapter of the University of Texas at Dallas. The instructors are either professors or students who have the necessary qualifications for the particular badge. Scouts of all ages are welcome, but preference will be given to older Scouts for certain (Eagle required) merit badges.
