 Minerpalooza celebrates 20 years of UTEP Pride
Miner pride will unfurl at UTEP on Friday, when students, teachers, faculty, alumni and families gather for Minerpalooza.
“What started out 20 years ago as an alumni picnic has evolved into a campus takeover,” says Shannon Osbourne, a coordinator at UTEP’s Student Development Center. “Minerpalooza is a back-to-school bash that extends from University to Hawthorne for all Miner fans to come and celebrate their UTEP pride.”
Every year Osborne and the other organizers begin planning for the event, which draws about 20,000, in March.
