We are now inviting UT students, faculty and staff members to submit name ideas for this character. We encourage you to participate! After a careful selection, the chosen name will be awarded with a special character keychain (limited edition for the name creator). If multiple submissions of the same name are received, UT Health Service Center will determine the name creator based on submission time and other factors.
Application Deadline: End of November 2025
Eligibility: UT Students, faculty and staff members (others may apply, but are not eligible for the prize)
