Favorite Campus Views
June 2024
By Anna Carrillo ’19, ’21

It's no secret that the UTEP campus offers some of the most beautiful scenery, overlooking both El Paso and the surrounding mountains.

I recently had the pleasure of asking recent graduate Aleli Fernandez about her favorite campus view, and despite the abundance of options, she narrowed it down to two memorable locations.

One of Aleli's most cherished locations is none other than Centennial Plaza. "I love Centennial Plaza because it is the center of campus and serves as the heartbeat of campus life, buzzing with student activity and energy, plus the scenery is beautiful to stroll through," she shared.

Another cherished lookout spot for Aleli is on top of the Health Science bridge. "The view from the bridge is remarkable because it offers a unique perspective where you can stand and look into another country. It exemplifies how deeply bonded El Paso and Juarez are," she explained.
