Corporate Partners

The Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science has a rich legacy of corporate involvement. The University of Texas at Dallas was founded by Eugene McDermott, Erik Jonsson and Cecil Green, the founders of Texas Instruments. Erik Jonsson also served in several civic capacities, including serving as mayor of Dallas at a critical point in the city’s history, and the name “Jonsson School” reflects our ongoing engagement with industry and the surrounding community.

The Jonsson School Executive Council was established in 2019 and includes community and industry leaders, philanthropic partners, University leaders, faculty and distinguished alumni who contribute to strategic planning initiatives specifically for the Jonsson School.
