This beautiful landmark will be a place for the Permian Basin community to gather and reflect while enhancing the University’s campus transformation efforts which coincide with UTPB’s 50th anniversary.

Join us for a community event!

The community is invited to gather at the site where The Bright Star Memorial will be built. The community is asked to wear yellow on this day and dedicate some time to engage in community service or random acts of kindness.

When: August 31 at 7:00 AM
Where: 
Under the UTPB Mesa Building Deck 

Because of forecasted storms, the ceremony will be moved to under the Mesa Deck. The public is welcome to park in the Welcome Center parking lot or the library. The best campus entrance is the Maple and JBS east entrance. We will have signs leading to the event. 

There are many ways to participate on August 31: 

  • Participate in the sunrise ceremony 
  • Pray or reflect at the site of The Bright Star Memorial 
  • Engage in community service or random acts of kindness
  • Wear yellow on this day
