Back from
New Orleans
The Mean Green football team's perfect 7-0 record in the Sun Belt Conference this season earned us our fourth consecutive trip to the New Orleans Bowl. We played Southern Miss, a very good team with a significant size advantage, and were defeated 31-10. The resulting national exposure though, was a definite winner. The game was played at the Louisiana Superdome in front of 27,253 people, was televised on ESPN and included in sports news around the nation. Next year, we hope to return and win.

Legal Eagles
In case you missed the news stories, the UNT System recently announced that it will seek approval for a public law school in downtown
Dallas. Local legislators and
Dallas city officials back our plan to meet the region's need for high-quality, affordable legal education and will work with us to secure funding for planning during the legislative session beginning in January.

Cool link of the month: Feral Cat Rescue Group
Since 1998, our Feral Cat Rescue Group has been providing humane care for the campus cat population. Through a "trap-treat-release" process, their ultimate goal is to reduce the campus cat population through spaying and neutering, and natural attrition. They also run an adoption program for cats and dogs. While we don't recommend adopting an animal on a holiday whim, or getting a pet for another person, if you're looking for a pet for yourself in the new year, why not look here?
