Share your best Spring Break stories
Spring Break is right around the corner, and the days already are getting warmer. Since so many of you seemed to enjoy sharing (and reading!) the Valentine stories, I thought you might like to share your best Spring Break stories. Maybe you found a great vacation spot during your time at UNT. Or maybe you've got advice to help others steer clear of a troubled locale. Maybe you just have a funny tale to tell. Share your story at the link below.

And the Oscar goes to …
Don't forget to watch the Academy Awards Feb. 27. I'm eager to learn if two of our UNT community members will be among those recognized for their hard work. Jeffry Eckels, a candidate for a doctor of musical arts degree and a marvelous jazz musician, played the double bass on "Al Otro Lado Del Río," which was featured in The Motorcycle Diaries and is nominated to receive an Oscar for best original song. And former student Thomas Haden Church is nominated for best supporting actor for his performance in Sideways. To learn more about the Academy Awards, click the link below.

More students flock to Dallas Campus
I was excited to hear that our Dallas campus has 1,258 students enrolled, the equivalent of 451 full-time students. This means we're a step closer to our goal of establishing the University of North Texas at Dallas. Once the Dallas Campus has the equivalent of 1,000 full-time students, UNT at Dallas can begin operating as an accredited, full-fledged, freestanding university and the first public university within the Dallas city limits.

Cool link: Faculty focus
Harry Williams, associate professor of geography, has studied the geological history of major tsunamis in West Coast marshes. Dr. Williams conducted his research on the Pacific Northwest coastline, where he says there is a long record of tsunami impact — some just as big as the ones that occurred in Southeast Asia. Listen to him discuss his research in his own words at the link below.
