Call for Class Notes
Like you, I just received the spring copy of The North
Texan. One of my favorite sections in each issue is Class Notes.
I enjoy reading about the personal and professional milestones our alumni
achieve -- from new jobs and promotions to unusual occupations and pastimes.
Please consider sharing your news at the form below, and I'll soon be
reading about you, too.

Alumni back on campus
I was delighted to personally meet North Texas alumni, friends and supporters
April 11 on Alumni Appreciation Day. At lunch and at dinner, I had the opportunity
to welcome and present awards to outstanding individuals who represented the
breadth of disciplines and interests on our campus. Please help me congratulate
the exemplary individuals listed here.

Students
make news
Did
you know that for the third year in a row, UNT has had more students
named Goldwater Scholars than any other Texas college or university?
The Goldwater Scholars join our other national award honorees, including
Fulbright, Rotary Ambassadorial and P.E.O. International Peace Scholars.

Top-tier graduate
programs
I'm proud to announce that UNT scored twice among the graduate programs U.S.
News and World Report editors chose to rank this year. The master and doctoral
degree programs in counselor education ranked in the nation's top 20, and the
master of fine arts program in art and design is listed among the nation's top
50. Both are first-tier rankings. These newest rankings joined our other top-tier
graduate rankings in library science, health librarianship, information systems,
and city management and urban policy. Check out our grad school site for more
information about all of our graduate programs.

The
geography of diseases
Although the advent of SARS took the world by surprise, a new medical field already
is in place to study and answer questions about the global spread of infectious
diseases. UNT is on the cutting edge of this research. A UNT professor and medical
geographer is the new chair of a group of American scientists who research and
track diseases like SARS. Diseases don't need visas to travel, he says, and good
information prevents unnecessary panic.

Cool link: Albino
Squirrel Preservation Society
A new student organization on campus is dedicated to a furry white squirrel named
Thelonius who lives behind Willis Library. The Albino Squirrel Preservation Society
believes the squirrel's rarity makes its sightings a sign of luck, especially
before a test. I think it's good luck for media coverage too -- The Chronicle
of Higher Education mentioned the UNT rodent in a recent article.
