Students are encouraged to create and experiment at their own pace with all of the age-appropriate activities. There are no volunteers or guides to take students around to the activities, so parents, counselors, or teachers are expected to remain with students during the event.
The University of Texas at Austin Cockrell School of Engineering will not take custodial responsibility of minors while participating in Girl Day at UT Austin. Custodial responsibility will remain with teachers, parents, legal guardians, and chaperones.
