Bright Star Memorial Plaza
The University of Texas Permian Basin is honored to be home to The Bright Star Memorial outdoor plaza.
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 for a sunrise service on August 31. Please 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
The public is welcome to park in the Welcome Center parking lot or the library parking lot. The best campus entrance is the Maple and JBS Parkway 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

A blood drive will be held on campus to support the random acts of kindness initiative immediately after the sunrise service.
